Sažetak
In this presentation different EHI quantitative measures of happiness and meaning will be compared: global and domain specific levels of happiness and meaningfulness, and satisfaction with life. Participants viewed their lives more meaningful than happy. Life satisfaction correlated moderately with global happiness ratings (.55) and weakly with meaningfulness (.17). Global happiness and meaning ratings were higher than satisfaction with life and this was true for all seven countries. Discrepancies between participants' ratings of happiness, meaningfulness and life satisfaction indicate that well-being is a complex construct, which should be measured through different aspects. Domain specific ratings can provide information about the way people construct their global happiness and meaning judgments. Family and health were contexts in which participants experienced the highest levels of happiness and meaningfulness. Happiness across ten life domains explained almost half of the global happiness variance, while meaning across domains explained about one-third of the global meaning variance. The findings show that people did not rate their overall happiness and meaning by merely summing up their happiness or meaning in various contexts.
