Categorical variables were coded as living with a partner: yes = 1, no = 0; marriage status: married = 0, others = 1; The working status was converted to 3 dummy variables

^aUnstandardized Coefficients Beta with 95% Confidence Interval for B

^bGlobal SWB was only for those who responded to this question (n = 557)

^cForced entry method was used for multiple linear regression analysis in model 2 of Global-SWB for it contained dummy variables
