Abstract

Based on six waves of pooled cross-sectional survey data from the second (1990) wave to the seventh (2018) wave of the World Values Survey (WVS) database, this paper uses the statistical software Stata to conduct an ordinal logit analysis on the collated data with reference to the Life Satisfaction Approach. The relationship between income and happiness of Chinese residents was examined, and the impact of subjective powerlessness on residents’ happiness was investigated.

The research in this paper finds that subjective income level has a significant positive effect on residents’ life satisfaction, and this positive effect decreases over time. Subjective powerlessness has a significant negative effect on life satisfaction. The findings of this paper suggest that the average subjective well-being of Chinese residents has declined and then increased over the past three decades.
