“…Other limitations of the study were related to considering an intervening psychological concept and emotional intelligence, which indirectly affects the tendency of people to experience positive and negative emotions (34), and checking biological related markers. Studying age differences and applying other stress induction protocols can be suggested for further research.…”

“…For instance; the relation of satisfaction with friends and family members exhibits a signiicant relationship with subjective well-being [12,15]. Similarly, perceived social support or social connectedness is a signiicant predictor of subjective well-being [29,[58][59][60]. Also, the research results indicate a signiicant relationship between satisfaction of relatedness need and subjective well-being [23,27,28,30,61].…”

The chapter briely includes the deinition of happiness as a scientiic mater, deinition of the need theories approach for explaining the antecedents of happiness, deinitions and discussions about the major need theories and reconceptualization of human needs with Glasser's Choice Theory, and also empirical studies that investigate the relationship between basic needs satisfaction and happiness. It is also thought that the conclusion obtained from this chapter will encourage researchers to investigate the antecedents of happiness with Glasser's conceptual framework and also invite researchers to study in a new research area with a new conceptual perspective.

“…Many studies have confirmed the existence of a positive relationship between social support and subjective quality of life. For example, Gallagher and Vella-brodrick referred in their study to a meta-analysis of 556 papers which showed that social support explains 1-8% of the variance of subjective quality of life 13 . Therefore, it can be justifiably argued that social support is a universal and significant predictor of quality of life 14 .…”

“…For example, the source of social support is shown to be more important for quality of life than the type of social support. Nevertheless, the type of social support is also associated with quality of life -there is evidence that emotional support is most strongly associated with quality of life 13 . Furthermore, Johansson and Arlinger 15 argue that if a person does not adjust to his/her hearing loss, a withdrawal from social activities occurs, having negative psychosocial consequences for the person, and thus for the subjective quality of life.…”

“…If the original score for the average quality of life is transformed into a percentage of scale maximum (%SM), the normative range of the population of persons with severe hearing impairment in Croatia was 56,64±18,78%SM, which indicates low quality of life because this result is below the lower limit of the normative range (60%SM) assumed by the theory of homeo- Social support is positively associated with the subjective quality of life, and some researchers believe that it is necessary for a sense of life satisfaction 13 . Cohen and Wills 12 suggested two explanations for the impact of social support on quality of life -main effects hypothesis and stress-buffering hypothesis.…”

background: The deterioration of hearing impairment reduces quality of life (QOL). There is evidence confirming the existence of a positive relationship between social support and subjective QOL.Aim: To examine the subjective QOL of people with severe hearing impairment in relation to the use of hearing aids and perceived social support.Methods: The study included 155 members of Associations of Deaf and Hard of Hearing from Osijek and Zagreb. Data were collected during October and November 2011. Multidimensional approach was used to measure QOL applying the following instruments: Personal Wellbeing Index -Adult (PWI), Scales of Perceived Social Support (SPSS), and Socio-Demographic Health Questionnaire.Results: The average score on the SPSS was 200,06 (SD = 39,01). Most social support was received from family members (M = 101,74; SD = 24,73). Descriptive analysis of PWI and QOL domain showed low PWI score (M = 56,64; SD = 18,78), the highest satisfaction with close relationships (intimacy) (M = 6,64; SD = 2,44), and the lowest with future security (M = 4,85; SD = 2,53). The highest correlation was obtained between close relationships and total social support (r = 0,626; p < 0,01), and the lowest between material well-being and social support of the family (r = 0,282; p < 0,01). Social support was the strongest significant predictor of overall QOL (explaining 22% of variance of QOL). Those using hearing aids had statistically significant higher scores in total QOL, as well as in health, close relationships, safety domains, and in social support.Conclusion: This study shows that use of hearing aids results in higher perceived social support which is the strongest predictor of overall QOL.
