Abstract: This paper, on the basis of previous studies, employs the data of CGSS (2010-2015) to analyze the impact of social economic status and subjective social class on one’s well-being. The study focuses on a comparison of the two indicators, and a longitudinal comparison through continuous data is added for an in-depth insight. The results tell that both indicators have an impact on individual’s well-being; the objective economic status index decreases slightly and changes slightly year by year after adding the subjective social class variables. In addition to current subjective social class, social class change in the past and the expected change in the future also weigh a lot, but the impact of the latter in 2015 is significantly lower than that in 2012.

Key words: social economic status, subjective social class, well-being, social mentality, class curing, social psychology
