Study on the Influence of Household Annual Income, Social Class Perception and Resident Happiness—An Empirical Analysis Based on the Data of Wuhan People Image Survey in 1998

摘要: 在现如今中国社会阶层急剧分化的情形下，利用1998年《武汉人形象调查数据》，采用多元回归模型分析了家庭年收入变化、社会阶层感知变化对居民幸福感的影响。把居民幸福感用物质生活、精神生活和婚姻家庭三个维度来描述，根据回归分析结果家庭年收入均和三个维度显性正相关。另外，把社会阶层感知当作中介变量并验证得出回归分析家庭年收入和社会阶层感知成正向显著的关系；社会阶层感知在家庭年收入和幸福感三个维度之间均成部分中介作用。
