“…Most of our findings are consistent with previous studies in China: education and income are positively associated with SWB (Appleton and Song 2008;Chen and Davey 2008a;Knight et al 2009;Knight and Gunatilaka 2010a); being divorced or unemployed has a negative association with SWB (Jiang et al 2012;Shu and Zhu 2008); health status is positively associated with SWB (Appleton and Song 2008;Chyi and Mao 2011;Knight et al 2009;Monk-Turner and Turner 2011).…”

“…Tables 7, 8 and 9 of Appendices show results from the ordered logit models; the sign and significance of the coefficients are similar to that for the OLS models, with only a few exceptions 1 . This is in line with previous studies using both OLS and ordered logit or ordered probit models (Ferrer-i-Carbonell and Frijters 2004;Graham et al 2011;Knight and Gunatilaka 2010a;Mukuria and Brazier 2013).…”

“…However, the terms SWB, life satisfaction and happiness are often used interchangeably (Camfield and Skevington 2008;Conceicão and Bandura 2008;Knight and Gunatilaka 2010a). In the present study, a question on self-reported happiness, adopted from the world values survey (WVS) (World Values Survey 2014), is used to measure SWB.…”

This study analyse how subjective well-being (SWB) in a Chinese population varies with subjective health status, age, sex, region and socio-economic characteristics. In the Household Health Survey 2010, face-to-face interviews were carried out in urban and rural counties in eastern, middle and western areas of China (n = 8,000, aged 15-102 years). To measure subjective health status, a global self-rated health question, the EQ-5D descriptive system, and a visual analogue scale of health status was included. To measure SWB, a validated Chinese

“…Por outro lado, os conjuntos urbanos com edifícios estreitos, porém em blocos de até quatro pisos, de uso misto, com mais acessos à rua (embasamento ou "plints" com mais aberturas e acessíveis à rua) em quadras menores são melhores enquanto ao desenho urbano e densidade pois intensificam a relação das pessoas com a rua e entre si, como afirma Jane Jacobs (1992), Jan Gehl (2014), Christopher Alexander (2013 e Hans Karssenberg (2015). A dispersão urbana em baixa densidade, no caso dos condomínios de alta e média renda, é propagandeada como provendo, para o citadino, o convívio com o verde e maior "paz e tranquilidade"; nos casos dos conjuntos de baixa renda refletem uma atuação do mercado sobre o baixo custo da terra urbanizada sobre áreas periféricas (Villaça, 2001 (Knight & Gunatilaka, 2010). Mas, a sociedade contemporânea é a mais urbana da história.…”

This paper describes an experience in a Graduate course Architecture and Urbanism that used computational tools to analyze urban quality -considering form, uses, density and spatial configuration (based on visual and fields) -in different urban areas in the city of João Pessoa. Understanding that the city is a problem in organized complexity, different aspects condition the quality of use of spaces and reveal urban dynamics. Urban analysis aided by computational tools revealed successful in characterizing different problems and potentialities that can lay the foundation for interventions with more urban quality.

In the past few decades, consumers across the globe have become heavily reliant on e‐commerce to purchase almost everything, from essential goods to hedonic goods. The prevalence of online shopping has significantly improved the consumption process and, by meeting consumers' needs, likely affects their long‐term subjective well‐being (SWB). Using individual‐level data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies, this study shows that online shopping enhances the long‐term SWB of consumers by increasing their proportion of hedonic consumption. Consumer income can moderate the effect of online shopping on the long‐term SWB of consumers, such that high consumer income can weaken this effect. In addition, the effect of online shopping on long‐term SWB is stronger for rural consumers than for urban consumers. The authors close with a discussion of the implications of this study's findings for academics and policy makers.
