Abstract
Because of a large number of Chinese women and the widespread concern about women's living conditions, this study aimed to examine how subjective well-being mediates the association between marital relationship and women's quality of life in Chinese context. The data used in this study were collected by conducting a multi-stage cluster random sampling method of 756 women in Huai'an city of Mainland China. Data included women's basic demographics, women's quality of life and marital quality, and women's subjective well-being. Structural equation modeling was adopted to analyze the data. The results of structural equation modeling analysis suggested a good fit for the sample. Overall findings showed that marital relationship has a significantly direct effect on women's quality of life, and subjective well-being can partially mediate the impact of marital relationship on women's quality of life. The implications on theory and social policy were also discussed.
