dimensions(p<0.01),while gender had no Ding ding differences in subjective well-being and social adjustment ability and all dimensions(p>0.05).Job type only had significant difference in the total score dimension of subjective well-being(p<0.01),but no significant difference in other dimensions(p>0.05).Specifically,education level had a significant positive impact on subjective
