- W177381296 abstract "In this thesis we revisit the recent and ongoing debates regarding dimensionsof well-being, with particular emphasis on the complex relationship betweenaspects of the Capability Approach (CA) and measures emerging from thegrowing band of happiness studies. In doing so, we draw on literature frompsychology, happiness studies, development studies, economics andsociology. We develop a conceptual model predicated on the argument thathappiness is not synonymous with well-being, but is instead one importantaspect of it. We develop a methodology suitable for exploring this model andtest it empirically through a small-scale survey conducted in Kyiv, Ukraine.Our empirical investigation is based upon a necessary mix of quantitativeand qualitative approaches, reflecting fully the interdisciplinary nature of theenquiry and subtle enough to capture the regional specificities which weargue are instrumental in determining well-being. Kyiv is an important casestudy, since it lies at the heart of one of the major post-communist transitioneconomies, while as yet remaining outside of the European Union. Theliterature suggests that such countries are particularly ‘unhappy’, and ourapproach sheds light on this stylised empirical observation. Our surveyprovides data on wide-ranging aspects of well-being, including relationships,health, income, control, environment and trust. A carefully selected cohort ofthe original respondents was subsequently interviewed in-depth to explorethe narratives around their own understanding of well-being in the context ofour conceptual framework.We find that using a mixed methodology highlights the potential pitfalls ofusing surveys alone to try and capture concepts as complex as well-being,as well as suggesting that such investigations should take into account thespecific context in which they are taking place. Our empirical approach alsohelps us to shed some light on why it is that Ukraine has tended to farepoorly in previous happiness studies." @default.
