- W197488807 abstract "AbstractThe present study investigated the relationship between Subjective Wellbeing (Satisfaction with life (SWL), Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), Positive Affect (PA) and Negative Affect (NA)), Psychological needs (Autonomy Competence and Relatedness), Meaning in Life, and Religious Practice. It examined the distributions of these constructs in a large sample of 3,173 subjects (1,638 males and 1,535 females) who participated in the 4th Algerian Wellbeing Survey. It aimed also to weigh up to what extent they were affected by household income. Finally, it estimated the mediating effect of demographic variables (gender, age, education and location) in the contribution of the studied constructs in each other.The results indicated that these constructs were significantly inter-correlated and almost similarly distributed in this population. They also showed that they were all negatively affected by low incomes and proved that generally and beyond demographic factors, SWB measures predict better needs satisfaction, meaning in life and religiosity than the opposite direction. The results were discussed on the light of previous international wellbeing research.Keywords: Subjective Wellbeing, Psychological Needs, Meaning in Life, Islamic Religiosity, Income, Algerian PopulationIntroductionRecent years have witnessed an outpouring of research examining the construct of Wellbeing and other related facets of human wellness, such as happiness, satisfaction with life, positive functioning, human flourishing and so forth. There are many reasons behind such a flow of research. Firstly, the Positive Psychology movement has stressed that psychological research should shiftaway from the dominating medical paradigm through examining human happiness and potential and helping people to live well (Seligman et al., 2005). This movement proposes that the key to reach these goals lies in understanding strengths, character traits and moral virtues (e.g., McCullough et al., 2001).Secondly, many health scientists have joined psychologists' endeavours as they found that some variants of wellbeing could constitute measurable outcomes of medical institutions and therapeutic interventions (Veenhoven, 2008). In the same vein, a growing number of economists, mainly those unsatisfied with GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as a measure of development in human societies (e.g., Layard 2006), generally stipulate that if well understood, wellbeing can be used as a complementary robust measure to monitor societies' and communities' progress. Further, it can be a good indicator for evaluating the success of policies pursued at the local and national levels and hence should be pursued as a policy goal (Diener, 2006).However, wellbeing research has not remained the same over the past thirty years or so. At the conceptual level, Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) has operationally been given the broad meaning of a combination of satisfaction with life, satisfaction with domains of life, high frequency of positive affect (PA) and low frequency of negative affect, NA (Diener, 1984; Diener et al, 1999). But, such a view, known as the hedonic view is proved restrictive and is challenged on many grounds. Most important is that it ignores the fact that human wellness is more complex than a mere expression of a feeling or an opinion at a given time. So, wellness cannot be assumed to a simple outcome such as this.Drawing on the work of early philosophers, a new conceptualization of wellbeing has emerged in which meaning, self-actualization, personal growth and the individual's social engagement are viewed as the main determinants of wellbeing (Ryan & Deci, 2000, 2001; Ryff, 1989; Delle Fave et al., 2011) This implies that what human beings strive for in their lives is flourishing, realizing one's potential, living a life of engagement and meaning, rather than simply looking for pleasure. Wellness is understood as a process of becoming, which is deeply rooted in Philosophy (for a review: Ryff& Singer, 2008). …" @default.
