“…In line with previous studies, health status has been associated with happiness (Abbott & Wallace, 2012;Angner, Ghandhi, Purvis, Amante, & Allison, 2013;Padela & Heisler, 2010;Sabatini, 2014;Zajacova & Dowd, 2014) and life satisfaction (Barger, Donoho, & Wayment, 2009;Dubrovina, Siwiec, & Ornowski, 2012;Kim & Sok, 2012;Liang & Lu, 2014). Good health is associated with greater well-being, while setbacks in health have negative effects on subjective well-being.…”

This study investigated predictors of happiness and life satisfaction in Rwanda. Data from the World Value Survey (2007; and gathered from 3,030 Rwandese (age ranging 16 to 90 years, mean age = 34.2, SD = 12.7; 50.5% were females) were pooled for the analysis. For the comparison, international World Value Survey data were utilized. A fixed effects multilevel regression model was used to predict happiness and life satisfaction from gender, health, socio-economic, and some subjective measures. Males had greater self-rated happiness and life satisfaction scores than females. State of health and sense of freedom of choice predicted both happiness and life satisfaction. Valuing of friends, weekly religious attendance, and national pride positively predicted happiness whereas household's financial satisfaction, full-time employment, high-income group, being a student, and sense of trust predicted life satisfaction. This study suggests that health status, household's financial satisfaction and emancipative values could maximize subjective well-being in Rwanda.

“…Subsequently, life satisfaction, as an important dimension of human well-being, has attracted attention from a variety of research disciplines including public health, economics, sociology, education, and policy.

Life satisfaction is a key component of people’s subjective well-being. This study assessed the relationship between relative income and life satisfaction among Chinese adults, using data from a cross-sectional survey. Individual-level data (N = 1369) came from the 2016 China Genuine Progress indicator Survey (CGPiS) conducted in Beijing and Chengdu, China. Ordered logistic regressions were performed to examine the relationship between relative income and life satisfaction among CGPiS adult respondents. Respondents’ life satisfaction was positively associated with relative income in comparison to their relatives and friends but not associated with relative income in comparison to their residing community and city. Subgroup analyses replicated the findings among male respondents and respondents with good or excellent self-rated health. In contrast, female respondents’ life satisfaction was positively associated with relative income in comparison to their city of residence, but not associated with relative income in comparison to their relatives, friends, and residing community. Life satisfaction among those with poor or fair self-rated health was not associated with any of the four dimensions of relative income. Relative income in comparison to relatives and friends was positively associated with life satisfaction in Chinese adults. Future studies adopting a longitudinal or experimental design are warranted to replicate the findings.
