Although the structure of subjective well-being (SWB) has been examined in various studies, no consensus on its structure has yet been reached. This may be due to a neglect of the construct's dynamic aspects and domain satisfaction as a core aspect of SWB. This article aimed to overcome existing research gaps by applying network modeling to longitudinal data of 32,700 adults (24-64 years old) from the German Socioeconomic Panel to analyze within- and between-person dynamics in the structure of SWB across the lifespan. Results indicated that the relationships across SWB components differed across the investigated within- and between-person network structures. Family, work, and income satisfaction tended to be the most central domains across different levels of analysis. The relationship between life and domain satisfaction was neither solely top-down nor bottom-up but instead characterized by distinct, mostly reciprocal relationships. Furthermore, the dynamic relationships of SWB were similar across compared age groups. In sum, the results suggest that the structure of SWB differs between the within-person level and the between-person level but does not change fundamentally throughout middle adulthood. Additionally, this study demonstrates the importance of considering domain satisfaction as an essential component of SWB and that psychometric network models can advance our understanding of the structure and dynamics of SWB.

主观幸福感的网络动态及其在不同年龄组的差异。


尽管在各种研究中已经检查了主观幸福感 （SWB） 的结构，但尚未就其结构达成共识。这可能是由于忽视了作为 SWB 核心方面的结构的动态方面和域满足。本文旨在通过将网络建模应用于德国社会经济小组 32,700 名成年人（24-64 岁）的纵向数据来克服现有的研究空白，以分析整个生命周期中 SWB 结构中的人内和人际动态。结果表明，SWB 组件之间的关系在所研究的人内和人与人之间的网络结构中有所不同。家庭、工作和收入满意度往往是不同分析级别中最核心的领域。生活和领域满意度之间的关系既不是完全自上而下也不是自下而上，而是以独特的、主要是互惠的关系为特征。此外，SWB 的动态关系在比较的年龄组中相似。总之，结果表明，SWB 的结构在人内水平和人与人之间水平之间有所不同，但在整个成年中期并没有发生根本性变化。此外，本研究证明了将领域满意度视为 SWB 的重要组成部分的重要性，并且心理测量网络模型可以促进我们对 SWB 结构和动态的理解。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
