The scientific study of 'wellbeing' involves both objective and subjective variables. While objective wellbeing can be simply measured as tangible aspects of the living environment, measuring subjective wellbeing involves quantifying self-reported feelings. Although reliable and valid measures can be achieved, in a cross-cultural context differences in language and culture present formidable challenges to measurement comparability. This Element begins by describing the behaviour of subjective wellbeing in single cultures, using the theory of homeostasis. Robert A. Cummins then discusses cross-cultural differences in subjective wellbeing, with a focus on measurement invariance as a means of ensuring the validity of comparative results. Cummins proposes that the major barrier to creating such comparability of measurement is a pervasive response bias that differs between cultures. He concludes that current instruments are inadequate to provide valid cross-cultural measures of subjective w

「很久以來，沒讀過寫得這麼精彩的好書，就像一座知識噴泉，令人大受鼓舞之餘，起而行動。」――康納曼（Daniel Kahneman），諾貝爾經濟學獎得主 專業推薦： 林明仁 台灣大學經濟系特聘教授蔡宇哲 哇賽心理學創辦人兼總編輯蔡明璋 中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心研究員謝伯讓 台灣大學心理系教授康納曼 諾貝爾經濟學獎得主保羅．多蘭 倫敦政經學院行為科學教授丹尼爾．吉伯特 哈佛大學心理學教授史蒂芬．平克 哈佛大學心理學教授 倫敦政經學院（London School of Economics）與牛津大學（University of Oxford）的經濟學教授聯手編著的「幸福感」必修課 幸福感（幸福學）：最新而且跨領域的社會科學研究（超越GDP的思維），探討人們對生活感到滿意的最深層因素，以及如何改善這些因素，打造出讓我們，以及下一代感覺幸福的社會。 ‧你快樂嗎？你對生活感到滿意嗎？（主觀的幸福感）‧讓人有幸福感的社會，應該是什麼樣子？符合什麼條件？‧哪些因素造成了人們感覺幸福或不幸福？幸福感如何衡量？ 這三十年來，「幸福感」（wellbeing）逐漸成為一項至關重要的議題。它也是跨領域的大型社會科學研究，涵蓋了心理學、經濟學、行為科學和社會學。這本書中也包括qu04世界各國的許多調查結果。本書分為四篇，第一和第二篇是基本概念的說明，介紹「幸福感」的意涵與衡量方式、它在哲學面的歷史、它與經濟及心理的關聯性，以及全球幸福感的分布不均。第三篇探討人類生活幾乎所有的面向——從基因、家庭、學校、心理和身體健康、失業、工作品質、收入、社區到自然環境——如何影響我們的幸福。最後一篇探討政治和政府，幸福感的應用很廣，可用來預測人們的壽命和投票行為模式。從政策面來看，本書主張政府開支不應再用傳統的以金錢為單位的成本效益分析，而應該以「幸福感的年數」為基準。幸福感的重要性無遠弗屆，「民之所欲」何在？不管是政府官員、企業、個人，都應該來了解最新的「幸福感的科學」，它將持續影響我們每個人過生活的方式、也影響整個社會以及政策。 【重點摘要】‧各國人民的幸福感差異巨大。全世界人口有超過六分之一，幸福為3點或更低

編輯大意美國總統拜登（Biden）於2021年4月在國會發表就任百日演說，宣布為因應新冠肺炎（COVID19）疫情的影響，將為三、四歲兒童提供免費學前班，並永久實施育兒抵稅，以重建兒童美好的未來。美國如此，其他國家何獨不然？事實上，重視兒童福利，陪伴兒童成長，已成為世界各國的核心價值。尤其，我國面對少子女化的趨勢，更能體認每一個兒童都是父母的寶貝，都是社會的資產，更是國家的生力軍，有待我們周全的關懷、照顧、服務。讓每一個兒童與家庭都能快樂、幸福，也讓社會與國家有希望、有未來。基於這樣的理念，本書的編輯，內容扣緊社會脈動，行文力求淺顯易讀，期待有助於讀者認知兒童福利的理念、觀察各國兒童福利的發展、了解兒童福利的實務。其主要內容，包括十個單元：一、兒童福利的基本概念二、先進國家兒童福利的發展三、我國兒童福利的發展四、支持性兒童福利五、補充性兒童福利六、保護性兒童福利七、替代性兒童福利八、矯正性兒童福利九、特殊性兒童福利十、兒童福利未來發展途徑這些單元的設計，係配合未來從事兒童福利的實際需求，在認知學習方面，重視兒童福利新知的了解；在技能學習方面，著重教保實例的討論及演練；在情意學習方面，強調兒童最佳利益（best interests of the child）的掌握。同時，本書第七版微幅調整：在結構上，將原來的第一、二章整合為「兒童福利的基本概念」，並增加「矯正性兒童福利」，列為第八章。在內容上，將新冠肺炎疫情對兒童福利的衝擊及因應措施，融入相關章節，並新增「我國兒童福利轉變的重點」、「先進國家兒童福利帶來的啟示」、「小爸媽及其孩子的服務」、「依社安網建構輸送系統」等議題，相對刪除較不合時宜的資料。至於相關措施、法規、數據，也適時更新。這樣的調整，無非期待本書能連接地氣，有助於兒童福利實務的落實，進而增進整體兒童的福祉（wellbeing）。
