passage 1
in our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” -feeling important and
worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same. women often are told “you can’t have it all.” sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “you choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “you have a wonderful husband and children-what’s all this about wanting a career?” but women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.
our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. one is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. it is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. the two are independent of each other. a woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然)。 for example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
