6.In our culture,the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same.Women often are told"You can't have it all."Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:"You choose a career,so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life."or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career?"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that,for women,well-being has two aspects.One is mastery,which includes self-respect,a sense of control over your life,and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life,to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect,and it is made up of happiness,satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure,and vice versa(反之亦然).For example,a woman who has a good job,but whose mother has just died,might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life,but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women,and correct past mistakes.In the past,women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study,all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles.At least by middle adulthood,the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages,motherhood,and employment-were the highest in well-being,in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

分析 在我們的文化中,我們所說的一種權(quán)利,駕馭的力量(感到重要和有意義的)和一種快樂(找到生活的樂趣)不總是相同的,相關(guān)聯(lián)的.女人們經(jīng)常被告知:你不能擁有它的全部,你不能成功.有時(shí)演講者真正要說的是:你選擇了事業(yè),所以你不能期望有一個(gè)更緊密的與親戚朋友的關(guān)系或者是一個(gè)快樂的家.或是你有一個(gè)好極了的丈夫,孩子,這所有又與想要一個(gè)好的事業(yè)有什么聯(lián)系呢?但如果女人們想要自我感覺良好,她們需要理解和發(fā)展幸福安康的這兩方面(事業(yè)與家庭).
我們的研究表明,對于女性,幸福健康有倆方面.一是駕馭事物的能力,包括對自我的尊重,對生活的自我控制,低水平的焦慮和抑郁.它與做實(shí)事緊密相連(工作和活動(dòng)),快樂,欣慰是另一方面.它由快樂,滿足,樂觀組成.它更與生活的感覺,感觸緊密相連.這倆者是各自獨(dú)立的.一個(gè)女人可以在駕馭事物的能力上有天賦,但卻得不到快樂.反之亦然.例如,一個(gè)女性有個(gè)好工作,但她的母親已經(jīng)剛死了,她也許會(huì)對自己感覺良好,她的工作生活也井然有序,但是有一段時(shí)間她不會(huì)感到快樂和滿足.
