The Satisfaction with Life Index was created by Adrian G. White, an analytic social psychologist at the University of Leicester, using data from a metastudy. It is an attempt to show life satisfaction in different nations. In this calculation, subjective well being correlates most strongly with health (.7), wealth (.6), and access to basic education (.6).〔University of Leicester (2006, November 14). "(Psychologist Produces The First-ever 'World Map Of Happiness'. )" ''ScienceDaily.'' Accessed July 23, 2011.〕 This is an example of directly measuring happiness—asking people how happy they are—as an alternative to traditional measures of policy success such as GDP or GNP. Some studies suggest that happiness can be measured effectively.〔Brittan, Samuel (22 November 2001) "(Happiness is not enough )" Templeton Lecture Inst. of Economic Affairs. Accessed 23 July 2011.〕 This Index, however, is not solely based on directly asking "how people feel", but also on its social and economic development. == Satisfaction Index== The subjective well-being index represents the overall satisfaction level as one number. Analysed data to create the index comes from UNESCO, the CIA, the New Economics Foundation, the WHO, the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the Afrobarometer, and the UNHDR. These sources are analysed to create a global projection of subjective well-being: the first world map of happiness. Whilst collecting data on subjective well-being is not an exact science, the measures used are very reliable in predicting health and welfare outcomes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satisfaction with Life Index」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
