Sažetak
Where life is best is one of the common lay discussions: is life happier if spent somewhere along the Adriatic coast or in continental part of Croatia? Which domain is more important for overall happiness and life satisfaction and is that different for different parts of Croatia? This study was done as a part of CRO-WELL, a longitudinal study of well-being in Croatia. Sample consisted of N=4844 adult internet users, divided into 6 regions: central (N=506), north-west (N=587), east Croatia (N=705), north Adriatic coast (N=584), south Adriatic coast (N=581) and Zagreb (N=1881). Results show that Croatians are more happy than satisfied with their lives, regardless of where they live. Additionally, they are most satisfied with their health and least with future security and standard of living. Looking at differences among regions, participants from Zagreb are the most satisfied with standard of living, opposite to those from east Croatia and north Adriatic coast. Residents of east Croatia are more satisfied with their family relations compared to all other regions. Level of job satisfaction is significantly higher in Zagreb compared to the rest of the Croatia. Regression analysis revealed that regardless of the region, level of life satisfaction depends on standard of living, accomplishment and love. Family is important contributor to life satisfaction in Zagreb, east Croatia and north Adriatic coast, while physical appearance was significant only among residents of central Croatia. Satisfaction with health is important predictor of life satisfaction in north Adriatic coast and Zagreb. Results will be discussed in relations to demographic variables and current situation in Croatia.
