The theory foundation of this paper is constructed upon aspiration theory and extended utility function.To make the empirical test,we propose the hypothesis of this study based on the theory and use micro data drawn from Chinese Nutrition and Health Survey.The results show that:Overall,the current level of real income of the residents indeed has a significant positive impact on happiness.From different income groups,the increase of income makes more sense to the happiness of low-income people than to high-income earners.Relative income has a significant and strong promotional effect on subjective well-being.Compared to the lowest income groups,the higher income groups have more personal happiness,and the higher relative income,the stronger happiness is.The policy meaning of this article is:the government should not only focus on absolute growth of residents'income level,but also pay more attention to the adjustment of the income structure change.Only by increasing the amount and optimizing the structure at the same time could improve the happiness of residents in our country.%基于攀比理论和扩展的效用函数，构建收入对主观幸福感影响的理论基础，使用2009年中国健康与营养调查数据，实证检验了中国居民收入对幸福感的影响。结果发现：从总体来看，中国居民的收入水平对幸福感有显著的正向影响。分不同的收入组来看，收入水平的增加对低收入者幸福感的增进意义较大，但对高收入者的影响较小。相对收入对主观幸福感有着显著且较强的增进作用。相比最低收入组，更高收入分组的个人拥有更高幸福感，且相对收入越高，幸福感越强。本文的政策意义是：政府不应仅仅关注居民收入水平的绝对增长，更要关注收入结构的调整变化，只有同时促进量的增加和结构的优化，才能不断提升中国居民的幸福感。
