“…Briefly, the measures used included the 6-item Kessler (K6) scale developed by Kessler et al (2002); three items from the Short Form Health (SFH) scale developed by Ware and Sherbourne (1990); three items from the Self-Esteem (SE) scale developed by Rosenberg (1965); two items from the Satisfaction with Life (SWL) scale developed by Diener et al (1985); four items from the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) developed by Cummins et al (2003). The K6 scale was rated across a scale from 0 to 4, the PWI scale was rated across a scale from 0 to 10, and all other scales (SFH, SE, and SWL) were rated across a scale from 1 to 7.…”

Our study investigated the association between perceived discrimination and outcomes related to health and well‐being for Pacific adults in New Zealand. We examined personal and group discrimination from the 2013 wave of the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (n = 429 women and 196 men). Personal discrimination was associated with poorer health and well‐being outcomes (higher psychological distress and lower self‐esteem, subjective evaluation of health, satisfaction with life and personal well‐being). Group discrimination, in contrast, was associated with poorer well‐being but not health outcomes (lower subjective evaluation of health and personal well‐being). These findings corroborate previous research and highlight the corrosive effect of discrimination towards health and well‐being among Pacific communities in New Zealand.

“…Supporting research indicates that evaluations concerning personally important life domains (e.g., health, finances, relationships) are chronically accessible to individuals when forming LS judgments (Schimmack et al, ; Schimmack & Oishi, ). Furthermore, substantial amounts of variance in global LS evaluations can be explained by predictive models in which domain‐specific evaluations are treated as simultaneous predictors (Casas et al, ; Cummins et al, ; Gonzalez, Coenders, Saez, & Casas, ; Loewe, Bagherzadeh, Araya‐Castillo, Thieme, & Batista‐Foguet, ; Tiefenbach & Kohlbacher, ; van Praag, Frijters, & Ferrer‐i‐Carbonell, ). In such studies, multiple domain satisfactions make unique contributions to predicting overall LS.…”

Objective We employed bottom‐up and top‐down perspectives to evaluate the link between how individuals view their lives as unfolding over time overall and in multiple life domains. Method Participants from an American adult lifespan sample (n = 1,003, mean age = 54.39 years, 49% female, 94% Caucasian) evaluated their recollected past, current, and anticipated future satisfaction in seven life domains (health, work, finances, contribution to others, relationships with one's children, close relationships, sex life) and for their lives overall (life satisfaction) at two time points separated by 9 years. Results Mean‐level trends varied by life domain and age. In cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses, domain‐specific beliefs about changes in one's life explained substantial amounts of variance in perceived changes in overall life satisfaction, and multiple domains had unique predictive effects. Domain‐specific beliefs also substantially mediated the predictive effect of age on perceived change in life satisfaction. Conclusions Findings provide consistent support for the bottom‐up perspective and limited support for the top‐down model. Accordingly, individuals seem to derive beliefs concerning how their lives overall are unfolding over time based on perceived changes across multiple life domains.

“…Earlier versions of well-being indices (e.g., [6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]) were determined to address two of the three pillars of well-being well but to either ignore the third pillar or inadequately address it [9]. The present HWBI described here includes critical aspects of all three pillars of well-being in a balanced manner such that all three pillars contribute to the well-being of the constituency being assessed.…”

Abstract:In 2011, the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research and Development program, Sustainable and Healthy Communities, coined the term TRIO (Total Resources Impact Outcome) to represent approaches that fully incorporate all three pillars of community sustainability-environmental, economic and social. This holistic approach to sustainability is embodied in the Human Well-Being Index (HWBI) comprised of sub-indices representing environmental well-being, economic well-being and societal well-being (which includes basic human needs and subjective well-being). The development of the HWBI is described in this manuscript along with its application at national, state and county spatial scales. In addition, application at even smaller spatial scales (communities, neighborhoods, demographic and economic sub-groups, and even individuals) is discussed. The potential utility of HWBI for comparing the intended and unintended consequences of alternative decisions is described.
