“…Estimates across datasets should therefore be compared with caution. On the other hand, it has been suggested that-similar to responses given to all subjective questionsself-reported subjective well-being is susceptible to mode of interview, with higher levels of evaluative, experienced, and eudemonic measures of well-being reported on telephone compared to face-to-face interviews (Dolan and Kavetsos, 2012). Mode effects have substantial implications for the comparability of our results between surveys given that the Eurobarometer uses face-to-face interviews, the BRFSS phone interviews, and Gallup uses a mix of phone and face-to-face interviews.…”

Are individuals more sensitive to losses than gains in macroeconomic growth? Using subjective well-being measures across three large data sets, we observe an asymmetry in the way positive and negative economic growth are experienced, with losses having more than twice as much impact on individual happiness as compared to equivalent gains. We use Gallup World Poll data drawn from 151 countries, BRFSS data taken from a representative sample of 2.5 million US respondents, and Eurobarometer data that cover multiple business cycles over four decades. This research provides a new perspective on the welfare cost of business cycles with implications for growth policy and our understanding of the long-run relationship between GDP and subjective well-being.

The aim of this report was to analyse positive and negative aspects of online administration of longitudinal well-being survey and to provide suggestions and guidelines for future research. The aim of CRO-WELL (Croatian Longitudinal Wellbeing Study) research was to follow well-being indicators longitudinally, on a large sample (N>5 000).For the purpose of the research we developed online platform with integrated questionnaire to assess various variables related to well-being. Participants could assess the application via various browsers, and it was also adjusted for smart phones. "Friendly use" of the online application, understanding of questions and answering method, as well as ethical concerns, was tested using focus groups and individual trials. To enable matching the participants from two waves, every participant had to log in to the web

“…All models control for region of origin and for interview mode (face to face versus telephone), since the literature suggests there can be differences in reporting of life satisfaction by mode of interview ( e.g. Conti and Pudney 2008; Dolan and Kavetsos 2012). In separate analyses, we additionally drew on migrants’ destination country life satisfaction level (based on data for 2012 of the Gallup World Poll, published in the Better Life Index by OECD 2013); and for returnees, we calculated their length of stay in Europe before return to Turkey in years.…”

Life satisfaction of migrants, stayers and returnees: reaping the fruits of migration in old age?

This paper evaluates the effects of migration on life satisfaction in later life. We compare the life satisfaction of older migrants with that of non-migrants and return migrants, of a similar age and originating from the same regions in Turkey. Turks constitute one of the largest migrant groups in Europe, and the growing population of older Turkish migrants display greater risks of loneliness and material disadvantage compared to native-born populations in Europe. However, compared to their non-migrant peers from the country of origin, older migrants may experience gains from migration that are reflected in their life satisfaction.Using the 2000 Families study, a large survey of Turkish migrants from the peak labour migration period and their non-migrant comparators, we investigate whether life satisfaction of migrants and stayers differs and the possible causes of any differences. We find that both migrants and return migrants experience higher life satisfaction in old age than stayers.However, the gap cannot be explained by the classical determinants of life satisfaction such as income, health, partner and friends, or religiosity, nor by the better outcomes of the migrants' children. We discuss possible reasons for this migration satisfaction advantage.
