摘要

在现代学术中,平衡的重要性通过工作与生活平衡等概念得到了选择性的承认。然而,生活中更广泛的平衡概念仍然没有得到充分的重视。这可能反映了学术界以西方为中心的本质,与其他文化相比,平衡在西方受到的关注较少。但是,在努力使学术更具全球包容性的同时,一种新兴的文学正在探索这一概念。这份报告通过展示迄今为止最雄心勃勃的关于生活平衡的纵向研究的数据来补充这一点,作为一个项目——“一般来说,你生活的各个方面保持平衡的频率是多少?”在“全球繁荣研究”中,一项为期五年(至少)的小组研究调查了繁荣的预测因素,(在第一年)涉及来自22个国家的202,898名参与者。报告研究的第一波,本文着眼于人口变化与-à-vis生活平衡,我们的主要分析包括对每个人口群体的国家的荟萃分析,重点关注三个研究问题。首先,主要人口因素的分布和描述性统计是什么。其次,各国之间的平衡水平如何,差异很大,总是或经常处于平衡状态的比例从以色列的83%到坦桑尼亚的44%不等。第三,不同人口类别之间的平衡是如何变化的,与就业状况相关的差异最大(76%的退休人员经常或总是处于平衡状态,而失业/正在找工作的人则为57%),与移民身份相关的差异最小。这些结果揭示了塑造这一有价值结果的个人和环境因素,并为进一步调查提供了基础。

Demographic Variation in Balance in Life Across 22 Countries: A Cross-National Analysis of the Global Flourishing Study

The importance of balance has been selectively acknowledged in modern scholarship through notions such as work-life balance. However, the broader notion of balance in life has remained underappreciated. This may reflect the Western-centric nature of academia, with balance having received less attention in the West compared to other cultures. But aligning with efforts to make scholarship more globally inclusive, an emergent literature is exploring this concept. This report adds to this by presenting data from the most ambitious longitudinal study to date of life balance, as an item – “In general, how often are the various aspects of your life in balance?” – in the Global Flourishing Study, a five-year (minimum) panel study investigating the predictors of flourishing involving (in this first year) 202,898 participants from 22 countries. Reporting on wave 1 of the study, this paper looks at demographic variation vis-à-vis life balance, with our primary analyses consisting of meta-analyses across countries for each demographic group, focusing on three research questions. First, what are the distributions and descriptive statistics of key demographic factors. Second, how do levels of balance order across countries, with considerable variation observed, with the percentage either always or often in balance ranging from 83% in Israel to just 44% in Tanzania. Third, how does balance vary across demographic categories, with the biggest difference in relation to employment status (with 76% of retirees often or always in balance, versus 57% of those unemployed/seeking a job), and the smallest in relation to immigration status. These results shed new light on the personal and contextual factors that shape this valued outcome, and provide the foundation for further enquiry.

期刊介绍: The aim of this journal is to publish conceptual, methodological and empirical papers dealing with quality-of-life studies in the applied areas of the natural and social sciences. As the official journal of the ISQOLS, it is designed to attract papers that have direct implications for, or impact on practical applications of research on the quality-of-life. We welcome papers crafted from interdisciplinary, inter-professional and international perspectives. This research should guide decision making in a variety of professions, industries, nonprofit, and government sectors, including healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, and human resource management. The goal is to help decision makers apply performance measures and outcome assessment techniques based on concepts such as well-being, human satisfaction, human development, happiness, wellness and quality-of-life. The Editorial Review Board is divided into specific sections indicating the broad scope of practice covered by the journal. The section editors are distinguished scholars from many countries across the globe.
