?:abstract
  • "The debate on effects of national wealth on subjective well-being is mainly based on aggregate analysis of national data with gross national product per capita as one global wealth indicator and life satisfaction ratings as subjective well-being indicator, leading to controversial empirical and theoretical results. To overcome the weakness of this debate we decided for a comparison of a high-developed country (Westgermany) and a developing country (Chile), using this microdata set of the World Values Survey 1990 and indicating national wealth by multivariate sociodemographic characteristics. Further we modeled the effect on subjective well-being with logistic regression differentiating cognitive evaluation (happiness rating) and affective aspects of subjective well-being (positive vs. negative affect scale). The results are pointing on the interaction of several societal institutions like social security system, economic development, marriage regulation by law, and affective response dispositions leading together to specific experiences of basic need deprivation. Further it proved to be meaningful to consider cognitive as well as affective measures of subjective well-being, because specific differences between Chile and Westgermany got visible only by examining additionally affective responses. National wealth indicated by the level of disadvantaged group proportions in the societies of Chile and Westgermany could not explain their subjective well-being differences. Additional socio-psychological indicators of disadvantage and deprivation have to be incorporated into the model of subjective well-being." (author's abstract) (xsd:string)
