Subjective Well-Being (SWB) refers to how individuals experience and evaluate their own lives. It encompasses emotional reactions and cognitive judgments, including feelings of happiness, life satisfaction, and the absence of negative emotions. SWB is often measured through self-reported surveys, where people assess their overall happiness and life quality.
Factors influencing SWB include personal relationships, work satisfaction, and health. Research shows that people with strong social connections, fulfilling jobs, and good physical health tend to report higher levels of SWB. Additionally, cultural and environmental contexts, such as community support and economic stability, also play significant roles in shaping an individual's well-being.
