Sažetak
More research is needed to gain better insight on well-being and positive and negative life events. This study is initial survey which is a part of the longitudinal survey on well-being and life events in Croatia (CRO-WELL project, financed by Croatian science foundation). The main aim of the survey is to investigate whether well-being can be considered not only an indicator of good life, but also an ingredient for positive outcomes and favorable life events. The sample consists of adult internet users in Croatia who voluntarily decided to participate in the study (N=1976). The initial survey consists of battery of questionnaires: Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, one-item measures of Life satisfaction and Happiness and Flourishing Scale. The list of Life events contains 69 positive and negative events. It captures the major and minor life events, and participants report the level of events’ frequency, experienced positivity-negativity, significance and the degree of expectancy. Preliminary analysis of initial battery of questionnaires showed that participants were relatively happy and satisfied with their life, they experienced more frequently positive than negative affects and use more active strategies for regulation of negative states. Among various life events they rated the birth of a child as the most positive event, the beginning of the friendship as the most frequent event and completing the education as the most expected life event.
