摘要:
近年來各國重視國民幸福感,許多研究探討影響幸福感相關因

素,然而分析方式多以生產函數為取向,並沒有深入探討影響幸福感

的中介因素及其對幸福感的效應量。本研究探討各國的教育年數透過

國民所得與預期壽命對幸福感的影響。本研究取自聯合國發展署

United Nations Development Programme, 2017)統計年報的153 個國

家,分為高低所得國家進行分析,獲得結論為:一、高所得與低所得

國家教育年數對國民所得、預期壽命與幸福感有正向影響;二、高所

得與低所得國家國民所得對預期壽命與幸福感,以及預期壽命對幸福

感都有正向顯著影響;三、153 個國家的各路徑之中介變項具有部分

中介效果,而高所得與低所得國家教育年數透過國民所得,以及教育

年數透過國民所得與預期壽命對幸福感具有完全中介效果;四、各國

的教育年數影響國民所得,以及教育年數影響預期壽命,再影響幸福

感是提升幸福感的途徑。本研究貢獻在於以國際資料分析支持了各國

教育發展透過國民所得及預期壽命之雙中介變項對幸福感有顯著關

聯。針對結論,深入討論,並提出具體建議。

關鍵詞:中介效果、幸福感、教育年數、國民所得、預期壽命

Abstract
Recently many countries have attached great importance to the

well-being of citizens. Many studies have explored related factors affecting

well-being. However, the analysis methods mostly focus on the production

function approach that did not investigate the process variables between

education and well-being in depth. They also did not estimate these

mediator effects on well-being. The aim of this study is to explore income

and life expectancy as mediators between educational attainment years and

well-being. The data was collected from the United Nations Development

Programme (2017), with 153 countries divided into high- and low- income

groups for analysis. Results revealed the following: First, educational

attainment in high- and low-income countries had a positive impact on the

per capital income, life expectancy, and well-being respectively. Second,

per capital income of high- and low-income countries had a positive and

significant impact on life expectancy and well-being, and life expectancy

had a significant positive impact on well-being respectively in high- and

low-income countries. Third, the mediating variables of various paths in all

countries had a partially mediating effect, and the educational attainment

years of high- and low-income countries contribute to well-being through

income, education attainment years through income, and life expectancy

respectively, that is, they had fully mediated effects. Fourth, the

educational attainment years affects life expectancy and then affects

well-being was the best way to improve well-being in all countries. The

contributions of this research was to use international data analysis to

support the development of education in countries through the mediator of

national income and life expectancy, both of which have a significant

impact on well-being. In response to the conclusions, in-depth discussions

and specific suggestions were made.
