Life satisfaction

Life satisfaction is an evaluation of a person's quality of life.[1] It is assessed in terms of mood, relationship satisfaction, achieved goals, self-concepts, and self-perceived ability to cope with their life. Life satisfaction involves a favorable attitude towards one's life—rather than an assessment of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economic standing, degree of education, experiences, residence, and other factors.[2][3][4][5]

Life satisfaction refers to the overall assessment of feelings and attitudes about one's life at a particular point in time, ranging from negative to positive evaluations. It encompasses various dimensions of well-being, including emotional, psychological, and social aspects.[6][7] Life satisfaction is influenced by factors such as personal values, cultural background, economic conditions, and social relationships.[8]

Life satisfaction is a key part of subjective well-being. Many factors influence subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Socio-demographic factors include gender, age, marital status, income, and education. Psychosocial factors include health and illness, functional ability, activity level, and social relationships.[9] People tend to gain life satisfaction as they get older.[10]
