Ich bin glücklicher, wenn ihr mir helft, selbst Entscheidungen zu treffen – Zufriedenheit und Zukunftserwartungen von Siebzehnjährigen (2006-2013)

Abstract: We estimate a structural equation model using the representative SOEP-panel (DIW Berlin) to find the explaining factors for life satisfaction and expectations for the future of young people being seventeen years old in the years 2006 to 2013. The respondents state a high life satisfaction and rate their future positively. The personality of the respondents has a strong effect on their feeling to have control over their life and on life satisfaction in general and expectations for the future. Also, a supporting… Show more

“…Consequently, compulsory services forced young men into a situation of dependence and lack of autonomy. Psychological theories show the importance of independence and autonomy in the life satisfaction of youth (Caprara, Steca, Gerbino, Paciello, and Vecchio, 2006;Crocco and Costigan, 2007;Ryan and Deci, 2000;Sen, 1995) and among adolescents (Ferguson, Kasser, and Jahng, 2011;Wüst, 2016). Potentially, a distaste for compulsory service due to fear of these obligations and the temporary loss of independence can also partly explain our findings.…”

“…This gap is surprising because life satisfaction is arguably both a means and an end to individual actions and has been broadly analyzed from economic (Frey and Stutzer, 2002a), psychological and sociological standpoints (Diener and Diener, 2009;Walsh, Boehm, and Lyubomirsky, 2018;Wüst, 2016). Apart from positive correlations with career success (Walsh et al, 2018;Wüst, 2016) and income (Wolbring, Keuschnigg, and Negele, 2011), life satisfaction is also associated with better health (Faragher, Cass, and Cooper, 2005). One can even argue (Frey and Stutzer, 2002b) that life satisfaction is the ultimate goal of all individual actions.…”
