Affect Specificity as Indicators of National Well-being: Representative Sample of Croatia

In our survey-based study we gathered evaluative and experiential measures of well-being and examined their correlates with different life domains variables used as predictors for each well-being measure. Subjects were a representative sample of Croatian citizens (N=1129). Subjects reported life satisfaction and rated how often they felt happy, satisfied, sad, angry, depressive, stressed over the past month. Predictors variables included measures representing various domains such as physical (health), social (seeing friends, family support receiving help, trust, fairness), psychological (learning, respect, recognition, spirituality) and job related variables (job satisfaction, commuting). Hierarchical regression analyses were used with age, gender and income as covariates. Distinctive predictors of positive emotions were learning and seeing friends, while predictors of negative emotions were trust, fairness and recognition.
