| 中文摘要(Abstrct) | |
| ABSTRCT | Deep integration of Asia into the global society necessarily affects wellbeing of local populations. This study proposes a notion of ‘‘extend capacities’’ to explain the relationships between individual globalization and subjective wellbeing among Asian populations in a context of increasing global integration. Using Amartya Sen’s theory of human capacities as a point of departure, we advance a distinctive list of expanded capacities, which includes English ability, global exposure and foreign contacts via jobs. Empirical findings from our multilevel analysis of a large sample from 14 Asian countries show the consistent impact of mastering a global lingua franca on job satisfaction, perceived
life accomplishment, and happiness. Global exposure also generates some favorable influences. |
