The fields of positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and goal-setting have all demonstrated that individuals can modify their beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors to improve their subjective happiness. But which ethical beliefs affect happiness positively? In comparison to ethical belief systems such as deontology, consequentialism, and altruism, rational egoism appears to be alone in suggesting that an individual's long-term self-interest and subjective happiness is possible, desirable, and moral. Albeit an important theoretical foundation of the rational egoism philosophy, the relationship between rational egoism and subjective happiness has yet to be investigated empirically. Using (Overall and Gedeon, Business and Professional Ethics. 38:43-78, 2018) 24-item rational egoism scale, we test this relationship on a random sample of 534 full-time American workers using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Consistent with rational egoism theory, the main contribution to knowledge of this research is finding a statistically significant relationship between rational egoism and subjective happiness. Implications for practice and areas for future study are suggested.
积极心理学、认知行为疗法、正念和目标设定等领域都表明,个体可以改变自己的信念、态度、意图和行为来提高主观幸福感。但哪些伦理信仰会对幸福产生积极影响呢?与义务论、结果主义和利他主义等伦理信仰体系相比,理性利己主义似乎是唯一一个认为个人长期的自身利益和主观幸福是可能的、可取的和道德的。理性利己主义与主观幸福的关系虽然是理性利己主义哲学的重要理论基础,但尚未得到实证研究。使用(Overall and Gedeon, Business and Professional Ethics. 38:43-78, 2018) 24项理性利己主义量表,我们使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)在534名全职美国员工的随机样本上测试了这种关系。与理性利己主义理论相一致,本研究对知识的主要贡献是发现理性利己主义与主观幸福感之间存在统计学上显著的关系。最后提出了实践意义和未来研究的方向。
