“…The former at least partly reflects that material hardship is still a relevant part of the experience and is consistent, with Suppa (2015) and Clark et al (2016), who find that individuals fail to adapt to material deprivation and income-poverty, respectively. Moreover, Kunze and Suppa (2017a) observe a lasting reduction of public social activities like attending cultural events (e.g., concerts, theater and lectures) over the subsequent 5 years after entering unemployment.…”

“…If the goal is only to obtain a sense of magnitude for the SWB loss associated with unemployment, an alternative way is to compare it against other commonly experienced life events, such as a divorce or the death of the partner. For instance, the magnitude of the life satisfaction loss for entering unemployment is quite similar to the contemporaneous effect of widowhood, in Germany and United Kingdom (Clark et al, 2008, Clark andGeorgellis, 2013) or multiple material deprivation in Germany Suppa (2015).…”

“…For most life events research suggests complete adaptation, including marriage, child birth, widowhood, and divorce (e.g., Gardner andOswald, 2006, Clark et al, 2008). Among those life events individuals fail to adapt during the subsequent 4-6 years rank material deprivations, income-poverty (Suppa, 2015, Clark et al, 2016 and possibly severe forms of disabilities (Oswald and Powdthavee, 2008).…”

“… Suppa (2015) approximated capability deprivation through the combination of “inadequate income” together with non-consumption data of “pivotal goods” using German panel data. This proxy for capability deprivation reduces life satisfaction significantly and individuals fail to adapt within the subsequent 4–6 years.…”

The notion of social belongingness has been applied to different scales, from individual to social processes, and from subjective to objective dimensions. This article seeks to contribute to this multidimensional perspective on belongingness by drawing from the capabilities and subjective wellbeing perspectives. The specific aim is to analyze the relationships between capabilities—including those related to social belongingness—and individual and social subjective wellbeing. The hypotheses are: (H1–H2) There is a relationship between capabilities (measured as evaluation and functioning) and (H1) individual and (H2) social subjective wellbeing; (H3) The set of capabilities associated to individual subjective wellbeing differs from the set correlated to social subjective wellbeing; (H4) The intensity and significance of the correlation between subjective wellbeing and capabilities depends on whether the latter is measured as evaluation or functioning; and (H5) The relationships between capabilities and subjective wellbeing are complex and non-linear. Using a nationally representative survey in Chile, multiple linear (H1–H5) and dose response matching (H1–H5) regressions between capabilities and subjective wellbeing outcomes are estimated, confirming all hypotheses. Subjective evaluations and effective functionings of some capabilities (“basic needs,” “social ties,” “feeling recognized and respected;” “having and deploying a life project”) are consistently correlated with both subjective wellbeing outcomes. Others capabilities are correlated with both subjective wellbeing outcomes only when measured as functionings (contact with nature), do not display a systematic pattern of correlation (“health,” “pleasure,” “participation,” and “human security”) or are not associated with subjective wellbeing (“self-knowledge” and “understanding the world”). When observed, correlations are sizable, non-linear, and consistent across estimation methods. Moreover, capabilities related to social belongingness such as “social ties” and “feeling recognized and respected” are important by themselves but also are positively correlated to both social and individual subjective wellbeing. These findings underscore the need of a multidimensional perspective on the relationships between capabilities and subjective wellbeing, considering both subjective and objective, as well as individual and social aspects that are relevant to belongingness. These findings also have practical and policy implications, and may inform public deliberation processes and policy decisions to develop capabilities, promote subjective wellbeing, and ultimately promote positive belongingness.

“…Some researchers focus on personal individual measures and perceptions of meaningfulness, autonomy, mastery, capabilities, belonging, and satisfaction in relation to “subjective wellbeing” [ 46 , 47 ]. Others emphasize social factors such as financial security, social freedoms, and social bonding [ 48 , 49 ]. We use the concept wellbeing in a way that resonates with more recent conceptualizing typically from within human geography literature, where it is viewed as the lively, situated, and relational qualitative evaluation of whether capabilities (what can be or happen) are enriched or not in ways that that cut across the personal, social, and material world [ 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”

Relationships between Recreation and Pollution When Striving for Wellbeing in Blue Spaces

Our aim for this research was to identify and examine how recreation enthusiasts cope with and mitigate the violence of pollution as they strive for wellbeing in polluted “blue spaces” (e.g., seas, oceans). Our methodology to undertake the research was ethnography (online and offline), including autoethnography and informal interviews (40). The study proceeded from a constructivist epistemology which emphasizes that knowledge is situated and perspectival. The study site was a post-industrial area of northeast England where a long-standing but also rapidly growing surfing culture has to live with pollution (legacy and ongoing). We found evidence of what have become quotidian tactics that attach to themes of familiarity, embodiment, resignation, denial, and affect/emotion used by enthusiasts to cope with and mitigate the violence of pollution. We argue that by necessity some surfers are persisting in striving for wellbeing not simply in spite of pollution but rather with pollution. We assert surfers enact a “resigned activism” that influences their persistence. We extend critical scholarship concerning relationships between recreation, blue spaces, and wellbeing by moving beyond a restrictive binary of focusing on either threats and risks or opportunities and benefits of blue space to health and wellbeing, instead showing how striving for wellbeing through recreation in the presence of pollution provides evidence of how such efforts are more negotiated, fluid, situated, uncertain, dissonant, and even political than any such binary structure allows for.
