This study investigated the relations among a child's emotionality, mother's depression and parenting behaviors in predicting a child's happiness. Participants were 384 children(175 boys, 209 girls) and their mothers. The teachers completed the rating scale to measure a child's happiness. A child's emotionality, mother's depression and parenting behaviors were assessed by a mother-reported questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results showed that child's emotionality was negatively related to their happiness. Mother's depression had a negative relation to child's happiness. Mother's warmth-encouragement, overprotection-permission, and reject-nonintervention was significantly related to a child's happiness. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the interaction of child's emotionality and mother's reject-nonintervention predicted child's happiness. Child's emotionality, whose mother demonstrated a higher level of reject-nonintervention, was associated significantly with happiness. In addition, the association between mother's depression and child's happiness was mediated by mother's warmth-encouragement and reject-nonintervention. Results suggest the importance of mother's role in the context of intervention planning for child's happiness.

As people's income rises dramatically, people's happiness seems not as high as expected. In fact, there are two different arguments about the relationship between income level and happiness. The focus of the debate is whether the correlation between income and probability of happiness is positive or negative. Therefore, we hypothesizes that the relationship between income and probability of happiness presents an inverted U-shaped curve. Then, this paper sets China as an example to explore the effect of income on happiness. The data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2015 is employed to conduct empirical analyses under the Probit model and the Zero-Inflation-Passion model. The empirical findings indicate that the effect of income on happiness presents an inverted U-shaped curve and significantly in statistic. Meanwhile, spouse's income, educational level, marriage time and house property have a positive and significant effect on happiness. Conversely, age and local living standards have a negative and significant effect on happiness. Unfortunately, even though registered residence and children have a negative effect on happiness, they do not get through the significant test. In order to ensure the robustness of our empirical results, we test the robustness of the above empirical results by adjusting the sample size. The results of robustness test verify that our empirical results are robust. Moreover, this paper also makes a small contribution to the current literature with a sample from China.

본 연구의 목적은 의학교육에서의 행복과 관련된 교육과정 도입을 탐색하기 위하여 의학전문대학원생들이 행복을 느끼는 활동 및 행복에 대한 개념 인식구조의 사전-사후변화를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 의학전문대학원에 재학 중인 2학년 학생 총 36명이었고, 일상재구성법과 네트워크분석을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 의학전문대학원생들은 먹기/대화하기, 여가활동을 하면서 행복을 많이 경험하고 있는 반면 학습활동을 통한 행복을 느끼는 빈도는 낮게 나타났다. 사전-사후의 행복을 표현하는 단어들은 많은 부분 유사하였고, 사전에는 '경제', 사후에는 '일'이 가장 높은 연결정도중심성을 나타냈다. 행복에 대한 개념의 구조가 1개 그룹에서 자신의 일, 가족의 건강, 삶에 대한 가치, 긍정적인 자아 등의 4개 그룹으로 나누어져 행복에 대한 개념이 피상적인 행복에 대한 개념에서 실제적인 행복에 대한 개념으로 인식이 변화하였다. 따라서 인간의 건강을 다룰 예비의사들이 행복에 대한 개념과 가치 등을 바르게 정립할 수 있도록 행복에 대한 의도적인 교육이 도입되어야 하고, 이를 위해서 행복과 관련된 교육과정이 체계적으로 개발되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose - With the economic development in China, the lifestyle of Chinese customers has changed dramatically. Chinese customers are more likely to have coffee in a shop with the ability to make them happy than those with high quality coffee in a nice physical environment. Happiness becomes a critical driver of customers' intention to purchase a cup of coffee in a specific coffee shop again and again. As a result, happiness becomes an important factor for managers to make strategies for attracting customers. Although managers and scholars pay more attention to emphasize the importance of happiness in customers' consumption, little research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between happiness and coffee shop's continuous usage intention in the Chinese coffee industry. Research design, data, and methodology - A research model is made to explain the impact of happiness on customer's behavior. To understand the influence of happiness better, we consider two dimensions of happiness which are subjective well-being and psychological well-being. In order to confirm the relationships of the variables in the research model, the online survey is constructed in China. Customers who have experienced the services in a coffee shop are asked to do the questionnaire. With 453 reliable questionnaires, structural equation modeling is used to analyze the causal relationships of the coffee quality, physical environment, subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and continuous usage intention. Results - Results indicate that coffee quality and physical environment are not the direct factors that influence customers' continuous usage intention. However, good coffee quality and physical environment are the significant predictors of Chinese customers' happiness associated with subjective well-being and psychological well-being, which in turn affects customers' continuous usage intention. Conclusions - In this study, it is proposed that coffee quality and physical environment may be the key factors influencing customers' happiness. Happiness, including subjective well-being and psychological well-being matters in decision making process. More importantly, happiness increases the continuous usage intention when the coffee shop can serve customers with higher quality coffee at a good atmospheric place. Managers should consider happiness as an important factor in making marketing strategies to compete in this industry.

행복에 대한 연구는 서구 중심의 학자들과 학문적 토대 아래 이루어져 왔다. 서양에서는 행복을 개인적인 성취와 대인관계에서의 긍정적인 정서적 경험으로 개념화하고 있다. 하지만 일본이나 중국 같은 동양권 문화에서 수행되었던 연구에 따르면 행복의 개념이 서양의 개념과 다르다는 것을 제안해준다. 본 연구는 83명의 대학생들을 대상으로 양적 분석 방법과 질적 분석 방법을 사용해 한국인들이 행복을 어떻게 개념화 하고 있는지 알아보았다. Yukiko와 Kitayama (2009)에서 일본인들과 미국인들의 행복개념을 비교 연구할 때 사용한 방법을 이용하여 한국인의 행복개념을 이전의 일본과 미국 데이터와 비교하는 작업을 실시했다. 분석결과, 한국인들은 행복으로 인해 생기는 긍정적인 결과와 부정적인 결과를 모두 고려하는 변증법적인 행복 개념을 가지고 있어 일본인들과 비슷한 행복개념을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 행복을 지배적으로 긍정적인 경험으로 지각하는 미국인들과는 차이를 보였다. 또한 한국인들은 정서 상태로서의 행복과 삶의 다른 영역 (대인관계, 일)에 영향을 미치는 기능으로서의 행복으로 분류하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 한국인들의 행복개념을 체계적으로 분석하는 시도를 통해 한국인이 가지는 행복개념의 특수성을 기존의 서구 중심의 행복 연구와 이론에서 정의하는 행복개념과 함께 고려하는 통합적인 시각이 필요하다는 점을 시사해준다.
