| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigated whether city size was associated with happiness among Americans and Japanese. First, using data from the General Social Survey and the World Values Survey, we showed that American urban residents had lower subjective well-being than their rural counterparts, while Japanese urban residents had higher subjective well-being than their rural counterparts. Second, using two large surveys (N = 12,149), our work provided construct validity evidence, particularly the factor structure, measurement invariance across gender, age, and regional groups, reliability, and convergent and discriminant findings, for the Japanese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Third, based on three surveys and one experiment (N = 14,781), our findings demonstrated that Japanese urban residents experienced greater relational mobility than their rural counterparts, which in turn increases life satisfaction.
