Republicans Happier than Democrats
摘要：
近几年来，美国人的总体“幸福感”似乎没有太大变化。美国皮尤研究中心最近公布的一项调查显示，有34％的美国成年人认为自己非常快乐。

近几年来，美国人的总体“幸福感”似乎没有太大变化。美国皮尤研究中心最近公布的一项调查显示，有34％的美国成年人认为自己非常快乐。
据美国“科学生活”网站3月15日报道，在接受这项调查的3014名美国人中，有一半的人认为自己很快乐，有34％的美国成年人认为自己非常快乐，15％的人觉得自己不是太快乐。调查人员还把统计数据按照不同的生活方式、信仰以及政治派别来划分，得到如下结果：
1、共和党人比民主党人更快乐；
2、经常祈祷的人比不做祈祷的人快乐；
3、富人比穷人快乐；
4、白人和西班牙裔人比黑人快乐；
5、结婚的人比单身的人更快乐；
6、养狗的人和养猫的人同样快乐；
7、阳光地带（美国南部和西南部）比其他地区的人更快乐；
调查中，有45％共和党人说他们很快乐，而持同样观点的民主党人仅为30％。不仅如此，回顾自1972年以来的调查还发现，共和党人在这些调查中一直都比民主党人快乐。原因可能很明显，“共和党人比民主党人有钱，而且就像我们已经发现的，有钱人会更快乐些。”但是，就算将收入因素考虑在内，结果还是一样：贫穷的共和党人依旧要比贫穷的民主党人快乐些，而富有的共和党人也依然比富有的民主党人更快乐。
Overall happiness among U.S. residents has not changed much over the years, according to the latest survey by the Pew Research Center that finds 34 percent of adults are very happy.
Among 3,014 telephone respondents, half reported being pretty happy, and 15 percent said they are not too happy.
The survey, released this week, points out several disparities based on lifestyle, beliefs and political persuasion: Republicans are happier than Democrats.
People who worship frequently are happier than those who don't.
The rich are happier than the poor.
Whites and Hispanics are happier than blacks.
Married people are happier than the unmarried.
Dog owners and cat owners rate the same.
Sunbelt residents are happier than everyone else.
About 45 percent of Republicans said they were very happy, compared with 30 percent of Democrats. Republicans have been happier in surveys going back to 1972, the Pew study notes.
The reason might seem obvious, since "Republicans tend to have more money than Democrats, and—as we've already discovered—people who have more money tend to be happier," the report states.
But even after adjusting for income, poor Republicans are happier than poor Democrats, and rich Republicans are happier than rich Democrats. |
