Sinopsis

The core of this book is the concept of huodegan (???), which refers to a sense of gain that includes perceived individual wellbeing and social development. Given that measuring sense of gain has become critical in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and along with the social indicators movement in the last decade, building an index for evaluating sense of gain becomes critical. Apart from reviewing the existing index systems for social development and policy and the previous studies exploring the sense of gain, this book highlights the importance of combining Chinese socio-cultural features, established theories, and index systems.

De la contraportada

This book empirically develops a new concept, “sense of gain”. By addressing four interrelated and progressive questions, this book clarifies the conceptualization of the sense of gain, develops three kinds of psychometric-sound instruments for various research purposes, demonstrates the diagnosis function of the index, and explores the social influencing factors. The sense of gain can be conceptualized as a two-faceted (i.e., psychological wellbeing and perceived social development) and ten-dimensional (i.e., economic level, political rights, stylistic education, social livelihood, ecological protection, satisfaction, ability, target, friendly, happily settled) theoretical construct, which can categorize the general population into four categories. The level of the sense of gain can be measured by 70-item, 30-item, and 10-item instruments. A series of influencing factors, such as demographics, household type, population mobility, and socioeconomic status, were preliminarily identified. Future studies should focus on the development of a longitudinal nationwide database and systematically investigate the promotions and barriers of the sense of gain to further understand this kind of comprehensive individual and social wellbeing index.
