Note. Ref=reference group. Mean difference (ΔM) score = the mean scores of a comparison group − the mean scores of the reference group. Higher SWB mean scores indicate greater SWB. Pairwise comparisons were conducted among all levels; however, there were no significant mean differences between women with annual household income larger than 100k and 30–99k and between high-acculturated Chinese immigrants and US-born Chinese/NHW group. Both initial linear regression models included education, insurance coverage, and interaction terms between ethnicity (or acculturation status) and income categories, all of which were not significant in the final models.
