Abstract

Abstract Subjective well-being (SWB) has been positively correlated with political activity, however the causality of the effect remains debated. By estimating within-individual effects, I show that SWB decreases protest intentions, while its effect on voting is not significant. Despite the mutual influence between SWB and protest, the results suggest that the influence of SWB on protesting is stronger than the reverse effect, thereby setting an agenda for future research in this domain.

主观幸福感影响政治参与吗?

主观幸福感(SWB)与政治活动正相关，但其因果关系仍存在争议。通过估计个体内效应，我表明SWB降低了抗议意图，而其对投票的影响并不显著。尽管主观幸福感与抗议活动之间存在相互影响，但研究结果表明，主观幸福感对抗议活动的影响强于反影响，从而为该领域的未来研究设定了议程。

期刊介绍： The Swiss Journal of Sociology was established in 1975 on the initiative of the Swiss Sociological Association. It is published by Seismo and appears three times a year with the support of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. Since 2016, all the articles of the Swiss Journal of Sociology are available as open access documents on De Gruyter Open: https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/sjs The journal is a multilingual voice for analysis and research in sociology. It publishes work on the theory, methods, practice, and history of the social sciences in English, French, or German. Although a central aim of the Journal is to reflect the state of the discipline in Switzerland as well as current developments, articles, research notes, debates, and book reviews will be accepted irrespective of the author’s nationality or whether the submitted work focuses on this country. The journal is understood as a representative medium and therefore open to all research areas, to a plurality of schools and methodological approaches. It neither favours nor excludes any research orientation but particularly intends to promote communication between different perspectives. In order to fulfil this aim, all submissions will be refereed anonymously by at least two reviewers.
