Socioeconomic Status, Need Fulfillment, and Subjective Well-Being
Based on a cross-disciplinary theoretical framework, this study investigates the relationships between multiple components of socioeconomic status (income, occupation, and education), basic need fulfillment (autonomy, competence, relatedness, security, and respect), and subjective well-being (life satisfaction and emotional well-being). Using high-quality Swedish survey data, we applied Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelin…
The interplay between gender and personality in relationship outcomes: Satisfaction across domains and partnership status
Personality’s associations with relationship outcomes differ for men and women. • Extraversion has a stronger positive association with partnership for men. • Neuroticism’s association with partnership is negative for men, positive for women. • Family satisfaction is associated more with men’s extraversion, women’s agreeableness. • Neuroticism’s negative association with romantic satisfaction is stronger for men. This study tested whether gender …
Gender and Height Are Associated With Life Satisfaction Through Psychosocial Factors: Findings From Sweden
This study examines the interplay between gender, height, and life satisfaction in the Swedish population. While height consistently shows a positive correlation with life satisfaction, gender effects on life satisfaction are typically null or inconsistent across studies, suggesting complex underlying mechanisms. Using data drawn from a representative cross‐sectional sample ( n = 990), we applied structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi‐group…
The worst off in Europe - country differences and trends over time in (low) life satisfaction
In recent years, policymakers and researchers have shown increased interest in subjective well-being across countries.While previous research primarily focused on country averages, measuring the distribution of subjective well-being through standard deviation has become more frequent.This article introduces a new approach to assess subjective well-being: focusing on the "worst off," or the group with the lowest levels of well-being.Based on sever…
The relationships between income, life satisfaction and emotional well‐being in European countries differing in wealth
The aim of this study is to investigate whether income has different relationships to subjective well‐being in richer countries compared to poorer ones. We report analyses based on interview data collected in the European Social Survey ( n = 72,574) that examine how income relates to life satisfaction (LS) and emotional well‐being (EWB) in 28 European countries, varying in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Our results indicate that the wit…
Mediators of Differences Between Employed and Unemployed in Life Satisfaction and Emotional Well-being
Previous research has shown that the unemployed has lower life satisfaction than the employed but that their emotional well-being may not differ. The aim is to investigate the role of mediators with bearings on these differences between the employed and unemployed in emotional well-being compared to life satisfaction. Participants were 3,463 employed and 452 unemployed living in five Western countries. They answered questions in an online survey.…
The Bigger the Better? Business Size and Small-Business Owners’ Subjective Well-Being
Business growth is often portrayed as an important outcome for small-business owners. Few empirical studies have however examined whether there is a positive relationship between business size and different dimensions of small-business owners’ subjective well-being. In a large cross-sectional sample (n = 1089) of small-business owners from Sweden, we investigate the relationship between business size and the two main components of subjective well…
Agreeableness, extraversion and life satisfaction: Investigating the mediating roles of social inclusion and status
We examine inclusion and status as potential mediators in the relationships between extraversion and agreeableness, on the one hand, and life satisfaction, on the other hand. Previous research has shown that agreeableness is less strongly related to life satisfaction compared to extraversion. We argue that the relatively weak association between agreeableness and life satisfaction is due to the fact that, even though this personality trait is pos…
Oro över coronapandemin i det svenska samhället
Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om människors oro över coronapandemin i Sverige. Vi använder enkätdata (n=3 040) för att studera 1) hur utbredd oron är, 2) vad den mer konkret består i, 3) hur den varierar mellan olika demografiska och socioekonomiska grupper, 4) huruvida oron kan förklaras av faktorer som personlighet, livsåskådning, tillit och riskuppfattningar, samt 5) vilka konsekvenser oron får för människors sociala kontakter, …
A New Approach to the Study of Tolerance: Conceptualizing and Measuring Acceptance, Respect, and Appreciation of Difference
Previous empirical research on tolerance suffers from a number of shortcomings, the most serious being the conceptual and operational conflation of (in)tolerance and prejudice. We design research to remedy this. First, we contribute to the literature by advancing research that distinguishes analytically between the two phenomena. We conceptualize tolerance as a value orientation towards difference. This definition-which is abstract and does not c…
Does Gender Equality Cause Gender Differences in Values? Reassessing the Gender-Equality-Personality Paradox
The Gender-Equality-Personality Paradox (GEPP) is the finding that gender differences in personality are at their largest in the most gender equal countries. Previous known studies have not examined this relationship over time. Examining this linkage is crucial to our understanding of gender differences and personality development. In the present study, we contrast evolutionary perspectives predicting a gender divergence in personality due to pro…
