The effect of gender on happiness, as defined by positive and negative affect, was examined in a
survey of Japanese midlife 95couples (mean age: 46.1). The gender-affect association was
examined, including psychological well-being (C.D. Ryff’s, 1988b, [PWB] inventory), personality
(P.T. Costa & R.R. McCrae, 1980), and contextual influence. Among wives, positive and negative
affect was related to self-acceptance (SA), positive relations, and environmental mastery. Among
husbands, both types of affect were related to only SA. Contrary to American results, positive
affect was related to Neuroticism (N) but not Extraversion (E); negative affect was related to E but
not N.
