Resumo(s)
Based on the results of the European Social Survey (ESS), this study characterizes
the levels of subjective well-being (SWB) and social well-being (SoWB) in
20 European countries. The relationships between well-being, socio-demographic
and behavioural variables (sociability and social participation) were also explored.
Results show extremely low levels of well-being in Portugal as compared to the
other European countries, but similar to other less-developed countries. Wealth of
the country was, as usual, associated with SWB and also with SoWB. Overall,
for developed countries, our results replicate the associations of SWB with age,
marital status and income. However, in less-developed countries these associations
with SWB are different: it is positively associated with income and negatively
associated with age; it is higher in individuals that were never married and
is more strongly related to sociability. These results challenge a universal model of
well-being and stress its contextual and social determinants.
