幸福感的客觀測量

Objective Measurements of Well-being

現有的幸福感研究大多偏向相關性研究，主要依賴心理量表來量測主觀的幸福感受。基於幸福感可能涉及的情緒歷程，本研究進而探討情緒偵測和情緒側化與幸福感之關聯，並藉此發展兩項以「知覺作業」為基的行為實驗典範。第一項實驗中，我們利用「不連續閃光抑制作業」探討無意識情緒偵測與幸福感之關聯，初步研究結果顯示：相較於男性，情緒偵測越敏銳的女性，越容易有正向的人際關係，以及較高的幸福感程度。第二項實驗中，我們利用「雙穩動態知覺作業」探討情緒腦側化與幸福感之關聯，初步結果顯示：雙腦連結度越高者，越能夠應對壓力，且具有較緊密的正向關係、較顯著的個人成長，以及較高的幸福感。整體而言，本研究試圖找出與幸福感相關的「知覺關聯」（perceptual correlates），期待相關結果能進一步發展成比較穩定且可避免主觀偏誤的行為量測典範，並提供和主觀幸福感互補的客觀資訊。

The study of subjective well-being has traditionally relied on psychological scales and correlation analyses. In this research, we introduce two perceptual tasks to investigate potential components that may impact subjective wellbeing: emotional detection and emotion lateralization. The first experiment utilized the discontinuous flash suppression paradigm to explore the relationship between unconscious emotion detection and well-being. Our results indicate that women with a greater capacity for detecting unconscious emotions are more likely to have positive emotions, stronger relationships, and higher levels of well-being than men. The second experiment, using the bi-stable paradigm, investigated the relationship between emotional lateralization and well-being. Our findings revealed that individuals with greater inter-hemispheric connections coped better with stress, had closer positive relationships, greater personal growth, and overall higher levels of well-being. This research attempts to identify ''perceptual correlates'' of well-being. To assess subjective well-being objectively and without bias, the relevant results will be further developed into a stable behavioral measurement.
