Life Satisfaction

Life satisfaction is a measure of a person’s well-being, assessed in terms of mood, relationship satisfaction, achieved goals, self-concepts, and self-perceived ability to cope with 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.

Factors that affect Satisfaction

Outlook on Life

An individual’s mood and outlook on life greatly influences the perception of their own satisfaction. Two correlating emotions that may influence how people perceive their lives are hope and optimism. Both of these emotions consist of cognitive processes that are usually oriented towards the perception and reaching of goals. Additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, whereas pessimism is related to symptoms of depression. According to Martin Seligman, the happier people are, the less they focus on the negative aspects of their lives. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment. This correlates to a higher level of the person’s satisfaction with their life, due to the notion that constructiveness with others can positively influence life satisfaction. However, others have found that satisfaction is compatible with profoundly negative emotional states like depression.

Family

A contributing influence to life satisfaction is that of family life and household circumstances. Family satisfaction is a pertinent topic as everyone’s family influences them in some way and most strive to have high levels of satisfaction in life as well as within their own family. Family satisfaction has been shown in studies to be enhanced by the ability of family members to jointly realize their family-related values in behavior. It is important to examine family satisfaction from all members of the family from a “perceived” perspective and an “ideal” perspective. Greater life satisfaction within a family increases through communication and understanding each members’ attitudes and perceptions. The family can make a significant contribution to an individual’s satisfaction.

Career

A satisfying career is an important component of life satisfaction. Doing something meaningful in a productive capacity contributes to one’s feeling of satisfaction. This notion of accomplishment is related to a person’s drive. The need for accomplishment is an essential part of becoming a fully functional person, and when someone feels accomplished in their career status they are more likely to be optimistic about their life and future; thus improving their satisfaction.

Value

It is proposed that overall satisfaction comes from within an individual based on the individual’s personal values—associated with better physical health, higher performance, and stronger social relationships. How satisfied you are with your life is important for your well-being. For some it is family, for others it is love, and for others, it may be money or other material items; either way, it varies from one person to another. Economic materialism can be considered a value.
