Abstract：
Subjective well-being (SWB) describes an individual\'s life evaluation. Direct elicitation methods for SWB via rating scales do not force individuals to trade-off among life domains, whilst best-worst scaling (BWS) approaches only provide relative measures. This paper instead offers a dual-response BWS task, where respondents nominate areas of most and least importance and satisfaction with respect to 11 SWB domains, whilst also eliciting anchoring points to obtain an absolute measure of domain satisfaction. Combining domain satisfaction and importance produces a robust measure of individual SWB, but statistically unique relative to other life satisfaction measures utilizing single- and multi-item ratings, including global satisfaction and those aggregated over SWB domains, as well as eudemonia. Surveying 2500 Australians reveals anchored-BWS improves discrimination amongst domains in terms of importance and satisfaction, illustrating its value as a diagnostic tool for SWB measurement to focus services, policy, and initiatives in areas to most impact wellbeing. This includes highlighting a major discrepancy between health satisfaction and importance, whilst also reporting that SWB is significantly lower for Indigenous, unemployed, middle-aged, males and lower income groups.
摘要：
主观幸福感(SWB)描述了一个人的生活评估。通过评定量表对SWB的直接启发方法不会迫使个人在生活领域之间进行权衡，而最佳-最差缩放(BWS)方法仅提供相对度量。本文提供了双响应BWS任务，受访者提名11个SWB领域中最重要和最不满意的领域，同时还引出锚点以获得域满意度的绝对度量。将域满意度和重要性相结合，可以产生对个体SWB的稳健度量，但相对于其他利用单项目和多项目评级的生活满意度衡量标准，包括全球满意度和在SWB域上汇总的满意度，以及Eudemonia.对2500名澳大利亚人进行的调查显示，锚定BWS在重要性和满意度方面改善了领域之间的歧视，说明其作为SWB测量诊断工具的价值，以关注服务，政策,以及对福祉影响最大的领域的举措。这包括强调健康满意度和重要性之间的重大差异，同时还报告说土著居民的SWB明显较低，失业,中年,男性和低收入群体。
