Abstract:

In this study, we examined the differences in life satisfaction based on a convenient sample of 1953 college students by Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to explore the true effect of only child on life satisfaction after stripping the influence of family capital. The results show that the life satisfaction of only-child is significantly higher than that of non-only children before matching, and the only-child is better than the non-only-child family on the three indicators of family capital. There is no significant difference in life satisfaction between the only-child and non-only-child college students after propensity matching. The results indicate that the difference in life satisfaction between the only-child and non-only-child college students cannot be completely attributed to the only-child or not, but the influence of family capital should be emphasized. These conclusions provide empirical evidence for a deeper understanding of life satisfaction of college students.

Key words: perceived life satisfaction, only child, family capital, propensity score matching
