Life satisfaction and life values: A cross-cultural study on happiness in Indian and Czech samples
Original language description
The international research project on Well-being, life values and social capital (SoCaWe) has been running since 2012. In our cross-cultural study we compared subjective wellbeing and its link to life values among Czech (N=165), South Indian (N=187) andNorth Indian (N=168) university students. The aim of the study was to determine which life values are most important to the respondents, with which life values they are most satisfied with, and to find a relationship between the life values and well-being among three samples. We revealed that life satisfaction (LS) in Czech students is higher than in Indian sample. In Czech students, their LS is mostly connected with perceived importance of life value Family and with satisfaction with meeting the psychological needs and life values: Work, Finances, Education, and Friendship. In North Indian students (IIT Delhi) their satisfaction with life is tightly connected with perceived importance of life value Sense of belonging.
