Research interest in topics such as happiness, the quality of life, and the experience of well-being has dramatically increased in the past four decades. Global measures of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) have long held a prominent position in this burgeoning body of research (Diener, 1984; Pavot, 2008). Despite their widespread acceptance and use, the validity and utility of global measures of SWB have been challenged at several levels of analysis. These critiques have ranged from the conceptual basis of SWB (e.g. Ryan & Deci 2001; Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Singer, 2008) to very specifi c concerns about the context of the assessment situation and the cognitive processes involved in formulating a response to such measures (Pavot & Diener, 1993a; Schimmack & Oishi, 2005; Schwarz, & Strack, 1999). The purpose of this paper is to review and address some of the more prominent critiques of global measures of SWB, and to discuss methodological procedures and strategies for minimizing threats to the validity and increasing the utility of global measures of SWB.

Aiming to determine which management practice has the strongest influence on the subjective well-being (SWB) of employees, three workplaces were assessed with reference to different levels of total participation management (TPM), an innovative approach to human resource management. The study examined whether the level of TPM is positively related with SWB, defined according to Diener’s (1984) affective and cognitive facets of work. The psychological explanation of the predicted dependence was the level of satisfaction of three basic needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) distinguished by Deci and Ryan (2000a). The hypothesis about a positive relationship between SWB and TPM was confirmed. Results indicate that the least participative company has employees with the lowest subjective well-being and with the lowest satisfaction of basic psychological needs.

Curiosity is a personality trait that is inversely related to depression and positively related to subjective wellbeing. However, the relationship between curiosity and these two outcomes is still unclear which hampers our general understanding of well-being. Based on research within positive psychology that showed character strengths such as curiosity can indirectly decrease depression, we hypothesized that the inverse relationship between curiosity and depression would be mediated by subjective well-being. Two hundred and fifty seven participants, between 18 and 64 years old (M = 24.50, SD = 8.33) completed a web-based survey comprising: The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory - II, Center for Epidemiological Studies - Depression and the Steen Happiness Index. We found that well-being mediated the relationship between curiosity and depression. The results indicate that curious individuals tend to report higher levels of subjective well-being which, in turn, is associated with lower levels of depression. Our findings contribute to the understanding of positive results obtained from clinical samples that underwent positive psychotherapy of depression.

The paper aims at examining the predictive role of hope in hedonistic and eudaimonistic dimensions of subjective well-being. Five questionnaires were applied: Scale of Hope, BHI-12 Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, PANAS-X Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale. 206 people were subjected to the above methods. The obtained results suggest that hope understood in terms of success and as basic hope is interconnected both with hedonistic and eudaimonistic well-being. Hope for success appears to be a better predictor for a majority of dimensions of well-being, apart from the affective dimension of subjective well-being in which basic hope has a stronger predictive value. The existing connections between hope and hedonistic and eudaimonistic well-being can result from the concept of goals which is deeply embedded in both constructs and has significant motivational roles.

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of emotional reactivity and support from different sources for the well-being of teenagers on different stages of development. Data on emotional reactivity, perceived social support from different sources and subjective well-being (SWB) was gathered from 180 younger and 135 older adolescents. Regression analyses included emotional reactivity and social support from different sources as predictors of SWB (positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction). Analyses showed that emotional reactivity predicted all components of SWB. Support was a signifi cant predictor for positive affect and satisfaction, but its specifi c functions depended on age group and its analyzed source. Interaction effects of support with emotional reactivity were signifi cant only among older adolescents - positive affect depended on interaction between emotional reactivity and support from friends, life satisfaction depended on interplay between emotional reactivity and support from teachers.

Although this research can be considered representative in several aspects, the validity of the findings is limited by the fact that no specific groups were included in the sample – e.g. the most vulnerable groups were medical staff and the elderly over 70 years of age. Also, those who were ill or suspected of having Covid-19 were excluded from the analysis. Finally, data collection via the Internet presupposes a certain standard of living of respondents

Objectives. The objective of the present study was twofold: 1) to examine the direct relationship between the objective low income and subjective well-being 2) to test the indirect relationship of objective, income to subjective wellbeing mediated by the level of satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs. Sample and setting. The sample comprised 118 low income participants aged between 18 and 60 years (M=37.07, SD=12.04). Hypotheses. 1) The lower the objective income would be the less satisfied people would be with their life, the less often they would experience positive emotions and the more often negative emotions. 2) The more they would be satisfied with their three basic psychological needs, the more they would be satisfied with their life, the more often they would experience positive and the less often negative emotions. 3) The relationship of low income and subjective well-being would be partly mediated by the satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs. Statistical analysis and results. Using path-analysis it was found that: 1) Low income was in a direct relationship only to the cognitive component of subjective well-being. 2) Low income had a negative relationship to the satisfaction of the relatedness need. 3) Need of relatedness had nevertheless a positive direct and indirect relationship to the variables of subjective wellbeing: direct – a higher satisfaction with life and higher frequency of experiencing positive emotions, the indirect – it was in a positive relation to satisfying the need for autonomy, what mediated a higher life satisfaction score, higher frequency of positive experiencing rate and low rate of the frequency of negative experiencing. The limitations of the results with regard to the size of the research sample and to the validity of the findings obtained are pointed out.

Ciele. Cieľ tejto štúdie bol dvojaký: 1) Preskúmať vzťah nízkeho objektívneho príjmu a subjektívnej pohody. 2) Testovať nepriamy vzťah objektívneho príjmu k subjektívnej pohode mediovaný úrovňou uspokojenia troch bazálnych psychologických potrieb. Súbor. Výskumný súbor predstavoval N = 118 osôb s nízkym príjmom vo veku 18 až 60 rokov (M = 37,07, SD = 12,04). Hypotézy. 1) Čím nižší objektívny príjem, tým nižšia spokojnosť so životom, menej časté prežívanie pozitívnych emócií a časté prežívanie negatívnych emócií. 2) Čím vyššia spokojnosť s troma základnými psychologickými potrebami, tým vyššia spokojnosť so životom a častejšie prežívanie pozitívnych emócií a menej časté negatívnych emócií. 3) Vzťah nízkeho príjmu a subjektívnej pohody je čiastočne mediovaný uspokojením základných psychologických potrieb. Štatistická analýza a výsledky. Pomocou path- -analýzy bolo zistené, že: 1) Nízky príjem bol v priamom vzťahu len ku kognitívnemu komponentu subjektívnej pohody. 2) Nízky príjem mal negatívny vzťah k uspokojovaniu potreby spolupatričnosti. 3) Potreba spolupatričnosti mala napriek tomu pozitívny priamy aj nepriamy vzťah k premenným subjektívnej pohody: priamy – vyššia spokojnosť so životom a vyššia frekvencia prežívania pozitívnych emócií, nepriamy – bola v pozitívnom vzťahu k uspokojovaniu potreby autonómie, a to sprostredkovalo vyššie skóre v spokojnosti so životom a vo frekvencii pozitívneho prežívania a nízke skóre vo frekvencii negatívneho prežívania. Na obmedzenia získaných výsledkov je upozornené z hľadiska veľkosti výskumnej vzorky a z aspektu platnosti získaných zistení.

The main goal of the paper is to analyse the assumptions of the “happiness policy” conducted by the United Arab Emirates, with particular reference to the World Happiness Rankings. The authorities of this country assumed that they want to be in the group of five happiest countries by 2021. However, are the Vision 21 strategy and National Happiness Card a contribution to real change or they are just a marketing product intended to promote this country as a tourist destination? The paper is an attempt to answer this question.

As a part of the European Statistical System, a general concept of measuring the quality of life was presented, defining its dimensions and partial indicators. The methodological objective of the study is to operationalize the measurement of subjective well-being(SW-B). The proposed method of measuring SW-B is based on the above concept, while incorporating the Sen’s capabilities approach. The operationalization was performed using the MIMIC model. This model incorporates both observable functionings (SW-B indicators) and sociodemographic characteristics of individuals (conversion factors). The two sets of variables are linked through the latent capabilities, which are interpreted as the SW-B measures. Empirical analysis of the SW-B in Poland in 2015 was conducted using EU-SILC data. Characteristics influencing the SW-B were identified. The SW-B depends mostly on self-perceived health and material deprivation. Moreover, higher values of SW-B were observed for those who work, have 1–2 children and are highly educated.

The aim of this paper was to explore both direct and indirect associations between subjective and relative economic well-being, materialism and SWB of young adults of the post-transformation generation. In particular, the moderating role of materialism on the relationship between subjective and relative assessment and SWB was explored. The study was conducted on a group of 207 evening/weekend students, from public and private Warsaw colleges and universities. Correlational design was used and hierarchical regression analysis and moderation analysis using Hayes Model macro # 1 were done. The study’s results indicate that young people’s well-being is positively associated with their material situation assessment (subjective and relative) and negatively with materialism. The study’s results also show that a high level of materialism weakens or eliminates the relationship between subjective and relative assessment of one’s material situation and SWB.

Subjective well-being encompasses several distinct but interacting aspects of people’s feelings, attitudes, and experiences. This paper assesses the state of the art for measuring these dimensions of people's lives, which typically involves analyzing self-reports of subjective well-being collected in survey instruments; however, other potentially complementary, technology-driven tools are emerging as well. We first answer the question, “what is subjective well-being?” and unpack its multidimensionality. The role of national statistics offices in measuring subjective well-being and deriving official statistics is considered next. We conclude by discussing how different characteristics of well-being constructs shape their applicability to policy. The overarching conclusion is that–while methodological limitations are present and a number of fundamental research challenges remain–understanding of how to collect and interpret data on subjective well-being has made enormous strides in the last two decades, and policies for a wide range of domains are beginning to be usefully informed.

The paper provides an overview of the information sources, methodology and main findings of the research of quality of life and poverty using indicators of subjective well-being applied by state statistics agencies in Ukraine. The paper describes the system of indicators for self-evaluation of the attained level of well-being, the level of satisfaction from meeting the basic living needs, and the limitations in consumption abilities of selected population groups due to hard conditions. In addition, methodological approaches in national statistics practice are discussed for the case of analysis of economic deprivation and for infrastructure development as indicator of geographic accessibility of services and non-geographic barriers causing the deprivation of access. Also, this paper reviews the factors that underlie the deprivations and define the percentage of population that is particularly affected by multiple deprivation in Ukraine. It covers the data on dynamics and analyses the distribution of deprivation by different population group, for several years. Finally, it describes further steps on the way to enhance the information capacity of subjective wellbeing studies, particularly as regards implementation of the contemporary approaches in international perspective, including Europe.

The main aim of the paper was to analyse the subjective well-being of the elderly in Poland, as well as its determinants by use of the logistic regression. The data used come from the 2011 wave of the survey “Social Diagnosis – living conditions and quality of life of Poles”. The analyses have shown that men aged 60 years or more had higher subjective well-being than their female counterparts. Subjective life satisfaction of the elderly in Poland decreases with age for women, but for males on the opposite. The elderly in Poland were satisfied the most with the aspects related to their personal life such as children, marriage, relationship with family member and relatives, while they were the least satisfied with situation in the country, life prospects, health status, sexual life, and economical situation of their families. Educational level and health status (measured in terms of disability) had the greatest impact on the sense of happiness. Generally people with the highest level of education had more chances to be happy than those less educated. The probability of happiness among people without disability was higher than among disabled ones. Married people also had bigger odds to be happy.

Working life is one of the important factors that affect overall quality of life and subjective well-being. Measuring its quality has been the focus of many recent projects and surveys implemented in the Czech Republic. The following text deals with the most general indicator of the quality of working life, namely overall working life satisfaction. It analyzes the relationship of this indicator with subjective well-being and its non-work aspects as well as with current job satisfaction. The results show that overall working life satisfaction is a broader category than current job satisfaction, it is much more closely related to subjective well-being than the latter, and it differs from the latter sufficiently to be considered a valid specific indicator.

Pracovní život je jedním z významných faktorů, které ovlivňují celkovou kvalitu života a životní spokojenost. Měření jeho kvality je předmětem zájmu řady projektů a výzkumů, jež byly v uplynulých letech realizovány také v České republice. Následující text se věnuje nejobecnějšímu indikátoru kvality pracovního života, jímž je spokojenost s celkovým pracovním životem. Analyzuje jeho vztah ke spokojenosti s životem celkově a k jeho mimopracovním aspektům, jakož i jeho vztah ke spokojenosti se současným zaměstnáním. Výsledky analýzy ukazují, že spokojenost s celkovým pracovním životem je obecnější kategorií než spokojenost se současným zaměstnáním a že je podstatně více provázána s celkovou životní spokojeností než samotná spokojenost se současným zaměstnáním, přičemž se od obou dostatečně odlišuje, aby mohla být považována za samostatný validní indikátor.

Work is one of the most important spheres of human functioning and has a significant impact on individual overall well-being. The purpose of this study is to assess the positive and negative impact of the work of police officers and firefighters on their well-being in different spheres of life. In particular, the study examines the relationship between the type of occupation and the elements that generate a feeling of well-being, issues relating to a positive influence of work on different spheres of life, as well as the relationship between the length of service and the influence of work on health. A hedonistic model of the quality of life has been assumed. The study encompassed 499 Polish officers serving in operational positions, including 195 police officers and 304 firefighters. A modified scale of satisfaction with various aspects of life, and a calculated work-related positivity indicator in the field of life, were used for the assessment of subjective well-being in relation to work. The results showed that the impact of work on well-being in the social, economic, and health spheres, and in relation to self-esteem, was determined by the nature of the work. Compared to police officers, firefighters were more positive in their assessment of the impact of work on their private life and overall well-being. Among the police officers, work was considered to have a negative impact on health, leisure and economic well-being. The results obtained from the group of firefighters are explained in accordance with the “top-down” model, and those from the group of police officers on the lines of the “bottom-up” model, in Czapiński’s onion theory of happiness. Practical implications for health and leisure are discussed.

Cooperation between children’s homes and facilities for seniors may be considered the most humane way of integration of both social groups living in residential care conditions. Therefore, development of various socio-educational programmes is a challenge that should be taken note of by any children’s home and facility for seniors. Effectively filled time of children from children’s homes may have a preventive effect against possible socio-pathological phenomena or work as prevention against ageism and support of intergenerational relations.

The article presents an analysis of the validity and reliability of the FAD-Plus scale by D. L. Paulhus and J. M. Carey, which is used to measure beliefs in free will, determinism, and the unpredictability of events. The results of three studies are presented. Based on the results of the first study, it was found that the tool has a consistent structure and that its 3-factor 16-item version is reliable. The second study revealed positive correlations between determinism and religious fundamentalism and belief in an unjust world as well as a positive correlation between belief in unpredictability and belief in an unjust world. The correlations of belief in free will with authoritarianism, belief in an unjust world, and religious fundamentalism were not significant. The third study revealed a positive correlation between belief in free will and positive emotions, a negative correlation between belief in determinism and positive emotions, and negative correlations of belief in determinism and belief in unpredictability with life satisfaction. The analysis of the FAD-Plus scale for the Polish sample proves that the 3-factor scale (the 16-item version) consisting of subscales measuring beliefs in free will, determinism, and unpredictability, is a parametrically satisfactory tool.
