Abstract:

Since 1980, the global prevalence of obesity has more than doubled. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) more than one in ten of the world’s adult population are now obese. The prevalence of obesity is high both in the developed and developing countries, leading to suggestions of an “obesity pandemic” or “globesity”. In Scotland alone, 28% of adults are now obese, and a further 36% are overweight. Historically, the main focus of healthcare has been the avoidance of preventable mortality. As life-expectancy has increased, attention has focused on the need to improve health, as well

The aim of the study was to examine the determinants of well-being in Malaysian students at home and overseas.

Based on the interview findings and literature reviews, a questionnaire was developed and named as the Adaptation to Life Index, which consisted of two scales - ‘missing experience’ and ‘enjoyment experience’.

The main objective of this study is to explain and predict subjective well-being among the elderly as a function of their social location in society and the nature of their social networks. More specifically, the study seeks to answer the following questions: First, how do the elderly perceive their well-being? Second, does social location in society, as defined by income and education, produce different perceptions of well-being? Third, how would interaction and receipt of goods and services in the social support network modify the impact of social location on subjective well-being? Using

In this thesis we revisit the recent and ongoing debates regarding dimensions of well-being, with particular emphasis on the complex relationship between aspects of the Capability Approach (CA) and measures emerging from the growing band of happiness studies. In doing so, we draw on literature from psychology, happiness studies, development studies, economics and sociology. We develop a conceptual model predicated on the argument that happiness is not synonymous with well-being, but is instead one important aspect of it. We develop a methodology suitable for exploring this model and test it em

The current paper aimed to examine how global subjective well-being best can be measured based in the current theoretical understanding of the definition and assessment methods.

Per poter testare questa proposta teorica, abbiamo condotto un'ampia review della letteratura, che supporta fortemente la correlazione tra questi bisogni ed il SWB. Da questa review è emerso che le evidenze empiriche in letteratura non supportano ancora una relazione causale tra benessere soggettivo e fruizione culturale. Per questa ragione, abbiamo deciso di

This thesis explores three major issues in the burgeoning empirical literature on the determinants of subjective well-being (SWB). While economic theory assumes that it is current consumption that matters to SWB, empirical work has focused almost exclusively on the effect of income. In Part 1, we use household panel data from Russia and Britain to show that neither the standard theoretical account, nor the standard empirical practice may be adequate. Consumption, income, and wealth each contribute separately to SWB, in particular via perceptions of status and anticipation of the future; and om

Abstract:

Within the United Kingdom, assessments of societal progress have traditionally been made according to objective measures such as Gross Domestic Product. However, measures of subjective human conditions, such as 'quality of life', 'happiness' or 'well-being' are now being used more widely. This is reflective of a concern about the limitations of economic measures and the growing desire for complementary subjective measures to inform policy making. This thesis is concerned with the level of enthusiasm and speed at which these alternative subjective measures have being embraced and the consequenc

There is evidence of a bidirectional feedback loop between end-products of the immune system and the HPA-axis such as cytokines and cortisol.

This is an important gap if research on children’s SWB is to generate findings which can be practically useful.

This thesis consists of four self-contained essays in economics, all concerned with different aspects of subjective well-being. The abstracts of the four studies are as follows. Beyond Income: The Importance for Life Satisfaction of Having Access to a Cash Margin. We study how life satisfaction among adult Swedes is influenced by having access to a cash margin, i.e. a moderate amount of money that could be acquired on short notice either through own savings, by loan from family or friends, or by other means. We find that cash margin is a strong and robust predictor of life satisfaction, also w

Abstract:

Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'analyse des variables d'opinion. Les opinions couvertes concernent spécifiquement des questions économiques comme le niveau de bien-être, la situation financière, le niveau minimum de revenu nécessaire pour vivre dignement, la préférence pour la redistribution. Le traitement de ces variables d'opinion et leur mise en relation avec les grandeurs économiques traditionnelles comme le niveau de revenu ou sa dynamique nécessitent des techniques micro-économétriques spécifiques. Dans cette thèse, les modèles dynamiques de panel sont utilisés pour étudier la mobilité des r

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>The emerging interest in 'spaces of childhood' over the past two decades can be identified in a number of disciplines. A substantial body of research has indicated that children's active engagement within the natural environment as a space has been associated with a range of cognitive, physical, affective, and moral developmental benefits. Given the exponential growth in research on children and nature interactions, it was imperative to explore how children make sense of nature and the influence this has on children's subjective well-being (SWB) to address the curr

Abstract:

The use of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) data in Economics is growing rapidly. Although traditionally marginalized due to their subjective nature, several studies provide convincing evidence that SWB data are reliable and valid sources of well-being information, and can provide supplementary information to that obtained from standard objective indicators of well-being. The overarching aims of this thesis are to gain a deeper understanding of how SWB data can best be used to measure national SWB, and to explore the properties of life satisfaction data. This thesis proposes a new measure of nation

Abstract:

This thesis within Industrial Economics and Applied Mathematics investigates the relationship between economic development and subjective well-being. The Easterlin Paradox, originally stated by Richard Easterlin in 1974, is reassessed by utilizing cross-sectional and time series data. A simple regression model is applied, using average happiness within a country as dependent variable, and gross national product per capita as regressor. In addition, an extensive study of previous research is conducted, focusing on reliability of data and earlier methodologies. The Easterlin Paradox is confirmed
