摘要: 收入与幸福的关系一直饱受争议。文章在分析已有研究成果的基础上, 总结出收入与幸福之间的曲线关系:在低收入水平下, 收入的增加会导致幸福水平的显著提升, 当收入一旦达到能够满足人们基本生活需要的水平之后, 它对幸福的积极效应就会被社会比较、适应和欲望等心理因素削弱。基于这种关系, 要提高中国人民的幸福感, 一方面需要社会的人文关怀与公平调整, 特别是制度设计, 另一方面需要个人的努力奋斗和心理调节。

关键词: 收入, 幸福, 社会比较, 适应, 欲望

Abstract: The relationship between income and happiness has been controversial. This article analyzed the existing research results, and then summed up a curvilinear relationship between income and happiness: at low income levels, increase in income will lead to significant increase in the level of happiness, once income comes up to a certain level which can meet people’s basic needs, its positive effect on happiness will be weakened by psychological factors such as social comparison, adaptation and aspirations. Based on this relationship, both social humanistic care and fair adjustment, especially the social system design, and personal strive and psychological adjustment are needed to enhance the Chinese people’s happiness.

Key words: income, happiness, social comparison, adaption, aspirations
