本研究的主要目的是為了修訂現有中國人幸福感量表，發展適合我國國中學生之幸福感量表，藉以做為未來相關課程、活動等發展之評估相關依據工具及指標，同時瞭解對於國中生之「幸福感」其本質、相關特有影響因素並針對現有國中生幸福感之程度進行了解。本研究的主要工具乃參考中國人幸福感量表（Chinese Happiness Inventory；CHI），進行修改成為適用於研究對象國中生之版本，並參酌其前身牛津幸福感量表（Oxford Happiness Inventory；OHI）及相關研究文獻，增加有關國中生幸福感之指標因素，在參考國內外有關幸福感之相關研究，遂而發展成本研究之研究架構。
根據本研究之抽樣母群，本研究母群之國中生為台北市內各公私立國民中學或完全中學（同時有國中一年級及三年級）一及三年級學生，而研究之樣本則為本研究分層隨機抽樣之三所國民中學或完全中學（同時有國中一年級及三年級）之一年級及三年級學生，分別為A、B、C三校，所提供的班級數分別為8班、8班及6班，國一及國三各佔一半，總共施測22個班級，計有效問卷607份。
本研究的主要發現如下：
1.本研究之研究工具，在經內容建構效度及專家效度的雙重考驗與信度的檢定，並與之前研究比較，證實為一個穩定的工具，並在國中生對象上的測量仍維持「幸福感」之原始構念。
2.本研究中發現，社會人口學之變項及相關客觀環境，對於幸福感預測力低，無法有效預測幸福感的高低。
3.本研究發現，有關於生活中的主觀評估及滿意程度，對於幸福感呈現高預測力，能有效預測幸福感的高低。
4.本研究發現，來自好朋友的支持及關係的聯繫，對於幸福感呈現高預測力，能有效預測幸福感的高低。
5.本研究發現，對於自己的喜愛及接受程度，對於幸福感呈現高預測力，能有效預測幸福感的高低。
6.本研究之質性資料與量性資料結果一致，確認上述變項對於幸福感的影響力。
7.國中生之幸福感相關模式與成人在內涵上因環境時空不同有差異，但在對幸福感的認知上，並無構念上的違背。
根據研究發現，提出數項建議，提供國內相關幸福感研究及有關單位之參考，並提供未來研究之相關建議。
