The subject factor is the most important factor on subjective well-being, while the self-esteem is the same to subject factor. So we try to combine self-esteem, social comparison orientation, social comparison type together in order to study subjective well-being.The research is divided into three parts, the first part:experimental material revision. We issued100experimental materials in Zhengzhou University by convenient sample method in order to verify and modify the experimental material. The second part:the choice of subjects.400self-esteem questionnaires were sent out in Zhengzhou University, Henan Normal University, He nan Institute of Education. taking the first27%as high self-esteem participants, after27%as low self-esteem participants. The third Part:the empirical part. The subject finally make self assessment on the basis of experimental instruction using the between subjects design method.Comprehensive experimental results, as follows:(1) Social comparison has significant difference on the subjective well-being.(2) The level of self-esteem has notable effect on subjective well-being, High self-esteem individuals’subjective well-being is high than low self-esteem level.(3) Interaction is existed between social comparison orientation, type, and self-esteem. At high levels of self-esteem, there is no significant difference on type of social comparision; but low self-esteem, the happiness of implicit downward comparison is better than explicit downward comparision; the happiness of explicit downward comparision is better than upstream external’s; Uplink explicit happiness is greater than the up-link implicit sense of happiness.
