The article deals with the concept of the Quality of Life, discussed in the context of existing empirical data and theoretical approaches. The visible gap between the nature of indicators of objectively studied indicators and the subjectively experienced reality is stressed. The proposal of new approach, namely the assessment of the relation between the objective conditions and their perceptions by human beings is discussed. The most important factors enhancing the threatening events are those stemming from the system transformation after the fall of centrally planned economy, namely unemployment and lowering level of consumption (leading to impoverishment). Four types of coping strategies are indicated. Threatening events are regarded as the suddenly growing probability of negative consequences. However, there is some threats that serves as the means for satisfaction of the need of stimulation and sensation seeking like dangerous kind of activities, especially extremal sports.

In a research on a group of senior citizens (N = 101, aged 60-87 yrs), the highly loaded items in the Anxiety-Insomnia Subscale of the General Health Questionnaire-28 imply that advancing age is a risk factor for the onset of the so-called minor depressions. In addition, it was found that the symptoms anxiety/insomnia are more highly loaded among senior citizens than in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, thus giving support to the view that there may be considerable discrepancy between real indicators of the quality of life and that experienced by an individual.

This article presents four studies aimed to search for gender differences in relationships between positive affective traits (virtues) and quality of life. The subjects were 360 individuals (129 men and 231 women). Self-report measures were used to assess the affective traits (gratitude, love, hope, spirituality and humility) and several dimensions of quality of life (life satisfaction, psychopathology, forgiveness, willingness to help and willingness to protect values). The results show that affective traits have different impact on quality of life in men and women. Love and hope are most beneficial among all traits considered for both men and women, but in men their significance is limited. Gratitude is good for willingness to help in men and women, but in men could be harmful for mental health. Spirituality is important only for women: is beneficial for forgiveness but harmful for mental health. Humility is important only for women and is bad for both mental health and willingness to help.

Efforts of mathematical modeling were also taken, yet though very useful, they also create problems.

The questionnaire NEO-FFI was correlated with two different meaningfulness measures: Reker's Personal Meaning Index (PMI) and Halama's Life Meaningfulness Scale (LMS). NEO-FFI and PMI were administered to two groups of subjects: university students (N = 82, mean age 21.13) and elderly people (N = 107, mean age 62.20), and NEO-FFI together with LMS was administered to two groups of similar age (N = 149, mean age 21.56, N = 67, mean age 57.3). Correlation coefficients for extraversion and meaningfulness ranged from 0.29 to 0.42, and for neuroticism and meaningfulness from -0.39 to -0.60. A close relationship was also identified between meaningfulness and conscientiousness (correlations from 0.31 to 0.57). Small but significant correlations of individual dimensions of meaningfulness measures with openness in the sample of the elderly, and with agreeableness in the sample of university students were also found.

The objective of the research was to verify the relationship between the degree of depression and subjective assessment of the quality of life by means of the Subjective assessment of quality of life questionnaire (SAQL; Džuka, 2014) and WHQOL-BREF (WHOQOL Group, 1998) in a research sample of depressive patients. It consisted of 101 depressive patients, 31 males and 70 females, aged 24-76 years (M = 51.32, SD = 11.49). The SAQL questionnaire differentiates between the assessment of quality of life in the cognitive domain (26% of variance), in the psychosocial domain (24% of variance) and in the physical domain (13% of variance) depending on the degree of depression, with the exception of evaluation in the environmental domain. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire differentiates between quality of life in health and psychological domains (18% of variance) and in the environmental domain (9% of variance) depending on the degree of depression.

The paper relies on the newest set of quality of life dimensions defined by the European Commission, in order to achieve a two-fold purpose: to obtain a detailed image of European Union countries’ synchronization in terms of each quality of life dimension and to create a new, comprehensive metric of a country’s overall quality of life by aggregating the information provided by each specific dimension. Thus, our complementary research approach relies on: i) an in-depth exploratory analysis to assess European Union countries’ resemblance in terms of quality of life dimensions; ii) the development of a novel rating system, which serves as a barometer for the quality of life status and allows countries’ ranking. The findings revealed that increased resemblance between countries appeared for governance and basic rights indicators, productive activity and education indicators, while the highest dissimilarity was present for the living environment indicators and material living conditions indicators.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between an alcoholic’s quality of life and the results of therapy which were defined as the ability to maintain abstinence for one year. The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire FLZ by Fahrenberg and others, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) by Watson and others were applied in this study. The study was conducted at the beginning and end of therapy, one year after subjects started maintaining abstinence, with one group (n = 64) sustaining their abstinence and the second group (n = 81) relapsing into drinking. Results indicate that at the beginning of treatment the group`s levels of life satisfaction and affect did not differ. When therapy ended, people maintaining abstinence were characterized by higher levels of overall satisfaction with life and satisfaction with health, leisure, and friends. Throughout the treatment, patients who remained abstinent experienced significant increases in several dimensions of life satisfaction, overall satisfaction, and positive affects. These were not observed among patients who relapsed into drinking.

The globalisation processes in the world and the transition period have changed the Slovak society. Common expression of these processes is the change of quality of life in the society and its component parts. These processes have resulted in significant differences and social inequalities that are accepted controversially in a previously homogenous society. It is efficient to distinguish and to analyse quality of life at macro as well as at micro level. The quality of life has become the new challenge of our age in the changed conditions as a positive antipode of poverty. It has become a criterion of success of economic and social systems as well as creativity and social responsibility of every member of society. On the basis of social cohesion and participation, the interdependency of systems and individuals strengthens relations between the societal component parts and creates base for synergic effects useful to all.

Questions of happiness or well-being are traditional philosophical themes. These are nowadays covered by the issue of quality of life. Although this is a term whose interpretations vary, the terms well-being, happy or fulfilling life are used. The issue is interdisciplinary and resonates across disciplines, including philosophy. Quality of life is a topic that is approached from different perspectives and from different points of view. In this study, we will focus on the philosophical aspects of quality of life issues that are related to human rights, especially social rights, and examine those aspects that are central to quality of life issues, particularly in the context of the operation of ethical normative criteria related to social rights and their bearing on quality-of-life concerns. The aim of the study is thus to look for the intersection between the individual and the social to highlight that it is social rights that have had and continue to have the most significant impact on quality of life. They are a tool to ensure the basic necessities of life but also the ideas of equality and justice. They are an essential prerequisite for personal development since they create objective possibilities for seizing opportunities and those qualitative indicators that make it possible, in the long term, to live a fulfilling life.

All human activities are directed towards the fulfillment of one's needs. The degree of such fulfillment determines one's satisfaction with living conditions and shows the efficiency of actions undertaken by state and central government administration in that respect. The most adequate measure of life satisfaction is one's own assessment, i.e. the subjective appraisal. These are the reasons why the quality of life should be constantly analyzed and systematically appraised. The purpose of this paper is an evaluation of Poland' quality of life by voivodeships in the years 2000-2009.
