Happiness is the pursuit of people. But in today’s society, people define happiness as having money and wealth, and think that having money and wealth can be achieved happiness.But happiness does not depend on the amount of money, but depends on the interpersonal harmony and peace of mind. Chinese traditional culture has always been stressing harmony, and emphasizes the realization of harmony between man and the universe. But as the representative of Chinese traditional culture, the Zhongyong thinking style plays an important role in it. The Zhongyong thinking style emphasizes people to grasp the "degree" of things, and it has an important role in set up the correct concept of money.In order to research the Zhongyong thinking style and money attitude’s influence on happiness under the Chinese culture background,first of all, we discuss the relationship between the cognitive components and emotion components of happiness.Specifically,we use Semantic activation paradigm to explore different levels of life satisfaction’s emotional react time.To learn more about the Zhongyong thinking style and money attitude’s influence on happiness, the study of an experiment combination of methods and survey approach to study 140 subjects in Qufu Normal University.To discuss whether the Zhongyong thinking style could predict people’s money attitude or not,and whether the mediating effect of money attitude between the Zhongyong thinking style and happiness exist.And attempt to construct structural equation style between the three.The result showed that:(1)There was a significant difference between different levels of life satisfaction subjects on reaction time;(2)The level of happiness among the high Zhongyong thinking style was higher than the low Zhongyong thinking style. And there was a significant difference between the high and low Zhongyong thinking style subjects in life satisfaction and implicit life satisfaction;(3)The Zhongyong thinking style had a positive predict on life satisfaction of happiness;(4)On power-prestige,distrust and anxiety dimensions,the high Zhongyong thinking style was lower than the low Zhongyong thinking style.On retention-time dimension,the high Zhongyong thinking style was higher than the low Zhongyong thinking style,but there were no significant differences;(5)The retention-time dimension of money attitude had a positive predict on implicit life satisfaction of happiness,the power-prestige dimension had a positive predict on implicit life satisfaction of happiness too.The anxiety dimension of money attitude had a negative effect on life satisfaction and the distrust dimension of money attitude had a positive predict on negative emotion;(6)The Zhongyong thinking style had a significantnegative effect on anxiety of money attitude;(7)The mediating effect of anxiety dimension of money attitude between the Zhongyong thinking style and happiness was not perfect.The results suggested that the cognitive components and emotion components were not isolated,they were closely related.In the context of Chinese traditional culture,the Zhongyong thinking style and money attitude have an important influence on happiness,and this has theoretical significance for us to enhance the sense of happiness.
