宜蘭縣民眾幸福感成因之探究──調節式中介模型分析

An Exploration of the Factors Influencing the Well-being of Yilan County Residents: A Moderated Mediation Model Analysis

聯合國每年固定發表「全球幸福指數報告」，公布幸福感的世界排名，台灣在亞洲僅次於新加坡。針對台灣各縣市做的幸福感調查中，宜蘭縣每每名列前茅。為何宜蘭居民有這麼高的心理幸福感受？純粹只是「好山好水」環境的影響嗎？這是一個值得深入探討的議題。本研究採用2017年《宜蘭地區社會變遷與永續發展第二次基本調查》資料進行量化分析，採用「調節式中介效果模型」，檢定宜蘭民眾「社會階級—網絡規模—心理幸福」之間的關係，並進一步探討「人際信任」、「經濟能力」兩個因素的調節效果。
本研究發現有三，一、網絡規模的確能夠中介社會階級與心理幸福之間的關係，三者之間存在著「部分中介」的效果。二、人際信任會調節「社會階級—網絡規模」之間的關係。三、經濟能力會調節「網絡規模—心理幸福」之間的關係，亦即，兩者均存在「調節式中介效果」。經由本研究的探討，能夠深入了解宜蘭人心理幸福的影響機制，對於宜蘭在地研究有具體的貢獻。

Each year, the United Nations releases the 'World Happiness Report,’anking global well-being and disclosing happiness levels worldwide. Taiwan consistently ranks high in Asia, trailing only behind Singapore. In happiness surveys conducted across Taiwan’s cities and counties, Yilan County frequently emerges as a frontrunner. What accounts for the remarkable psychological well-being experienced by Yilan residents? Is it solely attributed to the influence of its‘beautiful natural environment’? This is a topic worthy of in-depth exploration. This study utilizes data from the 2017 'Second Basic Survey of Social Change and Sustainable Development in the Yilan Region’for quantitative analysis. Employing a‘Moderated Mediation Model,’the study examines the relationship between‘Social Class - Network Size - Psychological Well-being’among Yilan residents. Furthermore, it investigates the moderating effects of‘Interpersonal Trust’and‘Economic Capability’.
The findings of this study are threefold: 1.Network size indeed mediates the relationship between social class and psychological well-being, displaying a‘partial mediation’effect. 2.Interpersonal trust moderates the relationship between social class and network size. 3.Economic capability moderates the relationship between network size and psychological well-being, signifying the presence of a‘moderated mediation effect’between the two. Through this investigation, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms influencing Yilan residents’psychological well-being is attained, offering a significant contribution to localized research in Yilan.
