“…Concerning environment we think that education together with income determine the status of a person that influences the quality of living conditions. Females had lower values of psychological status, this is consistent with other studies where women reported more negative emotions than men (Hansson, Hillerås, & Forsell, 2005;Tesch-Römer et al, 2008).…”

“…But some findings reported reverse results, in a study, Tesch-Römer, Motel-Klingebiel, and Tomasik (2007) revealed that females state more negative emotions than males. Similar findings were emerged from other studies (Costa, Terracciano, & McCrae, 2001;Feingold, 1994;Hansson, Hilleras, & Forsell, 2005;Nolen-Hoeksema & Rusting, 2003;Smith & Reise, 1998).…”

The purpose of the present study is to explore the relationship between Islamic beliefs and psychological well-being among students from University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran. The sample size of this research consists of 300 undergraduate students (148 males and 152 females) that were selected at random and asked to complete the psychological well-being and Islamic beliefs questionnaires. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between Islamic beliefs and satisfaction with life, spirituality, happiness and optimism, personal growth, and total scores of well-being. But Islamic beliefs had a significant negative correlation with positive relationship with others. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient did not illustrate any significant correlation between Islamic beliefs and autonomy. The results of stepwise regression revealed that positive relationship with others accounted for 10.6% and made the largest unique contribution, satisfaction with life accounted for 10.3%, total scores of well-being accounted for 8.3%, spirituality accounted for 7.6%, happiness and optimism accounted for 6.3%, and eventually personal growth accounted for 3.3% of variance in Islamic beliefs of students. There was a significant difference between males and females on scores of satisfaction with life spirituality, happiness and optimism and total scores of well-being, male students obtained higher mean scores than female students, but female students showed higher mean scores than their male counterparts on positive relationship with the above-mentioned issues, and eventually the results did not indicate any significant differences between the two groups on personal growth and autonomy. The results showed that male students had higher mean scores than female students on Islamic believes.

“…This process is often called the ''hedonic treadmill.'' Recent studies using longitudinal data from the British Household Panel Study and other sources indicate that such treadmill effects are not inevitable (see, e.g., Hansson 2009). has been largely neglected in studies of subjective well-being.…”

This paper investigates relationships between public policy outcomes and life satisfaction in contemporary Britain. Monthly national surveys gathered between April 2004 and December 2008 are used to analyze the impact of policy delivery both at the micro and macro levels, the former relating to citizens' personal experiences, and the latter to cognitive evaluations of and affective reactions to the effectiveness of policies across the country as a whole. The impact of salient political events and changes in economic context involving the onset of a major financial crisis also are considered. Analyses reveal that policy outcomes, especially microlevel ones, significantly influence life satisfaction. The effects of both micro-and macrolevel outcomes involve both affective reactions to policy delivery and cognitive judgments about government performance. Controlling for these and other factors, the broader economic context in which policy judgments are made also influences life satisfaction.
