Happiness is a universal and eternal yearning for mankind.After the tremendous improvement and development of material life brought about by the 40 years of reform and opening up,Chinese residents' pursuit of happiness is extremely strong nowadays.Among the many factors that affect the happiness of Chinese urban residents,self-owned housing occupies a unique and important position.Own housing is a physical residence,a manifestation of property,and an emotional carrier of Chinese families.Therefore,analyzing the impact of the self-owned housing situation of Chinese residents on their happiness is an important path to study the influencing factors of Chinese residents' happiness and the significance of judging the people's livelihood of Chinese residents.This paper summarizes the existing literature,and on the basis of summarizing relevant theories,analyzes the theoretical mechanism of the self-owned housing effect on the subjective well-being of Chinese urban residents.Based on the data of CFPS,an ordered Logit model and mediation effect model were established to explore the relationship between internal housing and residents' happiness and its internal logic.The sampled regression analysis was used to further explain the heterogeneity of the impact of self-owned housing on residents' happiness.The study shows that self-owned housing has a significant positive impact on the subjective well-being of Chinese urban residents,after replacing samples and indicators,this result is still robust;the analysis of the mechanism of action shows that the improvement of social status,security and social integration is the important impact channels of self-owned housing on happiness;The impact of self-owned housing varies among different regions,genders and income groups.Finally,based on the conclusions of the study,it is suggested that when the government vigorously develops the rental housing market,it must pay attention to the impact of sense of security and social integration on the happiness of residents,improve the basic public services for rental housing,and ensure the safety of the surrounding environment of communities.More attention should be paid to the problem of self-owned housing for women,the central and western regions and lower income groups,in order to improve the well-being and sense of access of the overall residents.
