Abstract

Abstract. This study extends the literature on people’s understanding of happiness by asking whether positive and negative events could affect the causal attributions of what makes others happy. Using a factorial survey applied to a representative and probabilistic sample of Chileans, we examined three central causal attributions deeply rooted in Latin American folk culture. The results show that the positive family causal attribution of others’ happiness is reinforced by both negative and positive events that happened to the observer. Moreover, the attributions of health and income are unchanged. Finally, we discussed how this study contributes to understanding people’s causal attributions by examining how they are modified by critical events that affect the observer.
幸福和关键事件的因果归因
摘要这项研究通过询问积极和消极的事件是否会影响使他人快乐的因果归因,扩展了人们对幸福的理解。通过对智利人代表性和概率样本的析因调查,我们研究了深深植根于拉丁美洲民间文化的三个中心因果归因。结果表明,发生在观察者身上的消极和积极事件都强化了家庭对他人幸福的积极因果归因。此外,健康和收入的归属是不变的。最后,我们讨论了本研究如何通过检查影响观察者的关键事件如何修改人们的因果归因,从而有助于理解人们的因果归因。
