「,well behind 」の部分の構造、意味を教えてください。

[Review] Back in the late sixties, thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic were troubled by problems which may seem strange to us today: they were worried that the leisure age which they believed was fast approaching would leave people with too much time on their hands. They were worried that the work ethic was losing its grip on a new rebellious generation and they pondered how they would motivate people to work. They needn't have worried. The much-predicted "leisure age" promised by technology has not materialized. In fact, quite the reverse: people are working harder than ever. There is less leisure time and, most surprising of all, the very workers with the greatest bargaining power are choosing to work the hardest. The problem is the burnout of white- collar Britain. For over a century, the average number of hours spent working over a lifetime slowly declined in Britain. The historian James Arrowsmith has calculated that in 1856 our ancestors put in 124,000 hours over a 40-year working life and, by 1981, it was 69,000. There it remained for a decade, but in the early nineties it began to increase again. On average full-time British workers now put in 80,224 hours over their working life, and that figure rises to 92,000 for those on a 50-hour week, which is common among the self- employed, the skilled, and professional and managerial workers. Many are working the kind of hours that would have been familiar to factory workers in the middle of the 19th century. The only difference is that now it's the bosses who are more likely to be putting in the hours than those on the shop floor. Britain has followed a US model of all work, no play, in contrast to continental Europe. Full-time workers in Britain now work the longest hours in Europe an average of 43.6 hours per week compared with an EU average of 40.3. Even more marked is the difference in holidays between Britain and continental Europe; the UK has, on average, 28 days a year, well behind France with 47, Italy with 44 and Germany with 41. Add the difference in weekly hours and holidays and it amounts to the British working almost eight weeks a year more than their European counterparts. -

Are you enjoying your life in Japan ? I have big news. Three weeks ago, I joined a volunteer group ( 3 ). We usually go to mountains or rivers near our town and clean them, because birds and animals sometimes eat the garbage there. We know it is not good for them. Also, in winter, we will go to one of the lakes and see how many birds there are. I heard there were about 500 birds last year. I hope this winter we will see more birds than last winter. We only do small things, but I believe that doing small things is important. Last night, I told my grandmother about our group. She enjoyed listening to me. She loves flowers and birds very much, but she uses a wheelchair now. She doesn't go out very often to enjoy nature. Then I came up with an idea.

When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and 壮な Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. However, how about us ordinary people? Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence often boils down to 主観的に (a) three factors: the feeling that one's life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals, and the belief that one's life matters in the grand 信念 scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose, and (1) existential mattering. 存在に関する な However, we believe that there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter, or imagine the scenery on top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When S people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they =4 view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects 感謝価値評価 the feeling of a deep connection to events as they occur and the ability to extract value 抽出する. V from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life's inherent beauty. 発 (b) 本来備わっている。 We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person's sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose, and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique (c) contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables. 変数の産物 As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate to what extent they agreed with different coping strategies to 対処方法 relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their Avent appreciation for life's beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In 感謝 - 1 - 有意義
