The article explains why the growth of material wealth is not accompanied in a direct way by a growth of psychological well-being. The authoress, drawing conclusions from existing results of numerous research projects, proposes two explanations of the phenomenon. According to the first one - the 'saturation' hypothesis - the quality of life, determined by material wealth, reaches its natural top limit at a certain point and at this point further prospects for gaining more happiness in connection with the material standard of living simply come to an end, there are no further possibilities to achieve any greater life satisfaction from possessed goods. The second explanation is the hypothesis of psychological costs of material wealth. It assumes that there are some domains around material wealth where people experience additional psychological costs, therefore the balance of growing material standards is not fully positive. These psychological costs of material wealth have their roots in such factors as: perception of discrepancies in wealth, the nature of material goals, an individual level of materialism, a type of motivation for acquiring material possession, a value conflict, a form of making use of material resources and a cultural context.

Over the last few years the value of the holistic approach to studies on the development and functioning of the human being in various stages of life, particularly adulthood, has been more frequently emphasised. At the same time there is also a requirement of conducting research not so much from the perspective of disorders, limitations and regress but from the perspective of achievements, advances and fulfilling a positive developmental programme. This approach is particularly important in relation to a person in mid or late adulthood. It seems that the theory of well-being - the theory of subjective well-being described on three multidimensional dimensions of the personality, emotions and society - meets the requirement of taking a comprehensive and positive view of the individual. Seeing that the sense of well-being may be analysed in reference to various areas of life - professional career, finance, family, it also becomes useful to describe the relations of the parents with their siblings by way of diagnosis of well-being components concerning the performed parental role.

This article presents a way of thinking about the lifelong stability of psychological well-being in dynamical terms. The reciprocal causality of well-being and its correlates is estimated by a structural equation model for panel data from Social Diagnosis, a survey conducted in Poland in 2000, 2003, and 2005, with more than 18 thousand respondents examined during this time and 5724 respondents examined in all three waves of the program. Psychological well-being is understood as a kind of performance indicator for a dynamic adaptation system. Self-regulation quality is derived from characteristics of the system of causal interrelations in which well-being is involved. It is posited that self-regulation of well-being could be mediated by patterns of resource expenditure in the processes of coping. Implications for possibilities of lasting change in psychological well-being are discussed.

The employment policies, whether preventive or curative, arouse the interest of policy makers in the OECD countries. These policies are mainly concerned with the economy of labour market, but they are not detachable from the reference to the health economy in its social and psychological dimension. Using different estimates (OLS, FE, GMM system), we found evidence that Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) have the strongest impact on the subjective well-being of the unemployed. Examination of the different types of ALMP reveals heterogeneity; programs of incentive employment, start-up incentives and training have been most effective in improving the well-being of the unemployed compared to those of direct job creation and supported employment and rehabilitation. Then, we propose some policy recommendations by emphasizing the disposition of the subjective well-being approach in the design, implementation and evaluation of ALMPs.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the relationship between economic characteristics and well-being as one of the components of quality of life. The study is based on microdata obtained from a representative EU-SILC 2013 survey covering the Slovak population age 16 and older. Subjective well-being is reflecting the general mood or affect, including depression, anxiety, and psychologic well-being. The estimated mean value of the total subjective well-being score is 70 (median: 73). The results presented in this study suggest that economic factors are strongly correlated with the level of subjective well-being. The findings propose positive and diminishing returns to income; unemployed people score on average approximately 9 points lower than those who are employed; people living in indebted households have a lower level of subjective well-being than those living in households without debts; and the ability to face unexpected financial expenses increases the level of well-being.

Because climate change threatens human welfare across the globe, in both near and distant future, we need a philosophical concept of well-being that reflects such a large scope. This article discusses which concept of well-being that yields moral obligations across generations most efficiently. The concept of well-being argued for will also have something specific to say about methods used in climate economy and the concept of sustainable development.

The immediate inspiration for this contribution is the article by Orsolya Lelkes that appeared here under the title 'Can money buy happiness? An empirical analysis of the relation between income and utility'. She ultimately gave an affirmative answer. This contribution, on the other hand, places the question on a more general plane, disputing some of Lelkes' theoretical conclusions and even conceiving the answer to the basic question differently. In simple terms, money can be said - according to this writer - to buy happiness to a certain extent but not beyond. Nonetheless, it is important to note that Lelkes conducted a notable empirical analysis in the study mentioned, and her work can been considered the first important contribution to Hungarian literature on the economics of happiness. This contribution contains a detailed exposition of the questions advanced and confirmation of the present writer's hypothesis from published empirical data.

The current study examines three structural equation models concerning work-to-family conflict. The predictors and outcomes of work-to-family conflict pertained to family domain, represented by family stressors such as partnership disagreements; to work domain, represented by work stressors such as work demands; and to affective domain, represented by subjective well-being perception. We focus on the relationship between the three domains (work, family, and affective) and work-to-family conflict using the European Social Survey R2 (2004/2005) data. The aim of the study is to explore the bidirectional links between work-to-family conflict and selected factors: work demands, partnership disagreement and subjective well-being. Our results support the spill-over theory (Eby et al. 2010; Champoux, 1978) claiming that the domains of work and family spill over and that work stressors and family stressors can both explain work-family conflict as predictors and be explained by work-family conflict as its outcomes. The results also show reciprocal effects of the affective domain on work-to-family conflict and vice versa.

The aim of the present study was to test the hypotheses that (1) the personality disposition of action versus state orientation (i.e., a form of affect regulation) moderates the relationship between stressful life events and building of motive-congruent goals as well as between stress and well-being, and (2) motive-incongruent goal orientations influence well-being negatively. Managers (N = 120) were sampled. The main results were: First, no significant interaction effect of action orientation and life stress on well-being or motive-incongruent goal orientations was found. This was due to a strong action orientation and a low level of stress in the sample used (p < .001 when compared with norm). Because of restricted variance, the moderator hypotheses could not be supported or refuted. Second, motive-incongruent goal orientations correlated with well-being only when action orientation was checked. Thus, action orientation was found to be beneficial for well-being because it suppressed the negative effect of motive-incongruent goal orientations.

The quality and strength of intention as well as planning are the key self-regulatory processes in health behavior change. The aim of the present study was to test whether the processes resulting in implementation of intention depend not only on planning but also on the sense of agency, an involvement and social influence variables. The study involved 143 voluntary participants, 83 women, 56 men, aged 18-35 with high school or higher education. A set of rating scales and questionnaires was used to measure the self-regulatory processes, health behaviors, well-being and their predictors. The results support the notion that health behaviors and well-being were found to be affected by similar predictors such as the intention strength, completeness and action orientation in planning. High evaluation of developmental goals in health decision making was among crucial predictors of health behaviors. Participants with high levels of self-regulatory indicators used credible social influence sources.

Key words are also characterized from the standpoint of the Slovak researchers; optimism from the research data of I. Sarmany Schuller and quality of life in the concept of one of the authors (D.K.). The presumed positive relation of optimism and quality of life was differentiated in the sample of adolescents of both sexes between 15-20 years (N = 321). Four methods were used: scales of life satisfaction (Diener et al.) and optimism-pessimism (Levy), a transformed Bern questionnaire of well-being (Grob et al.) and a short 'flow' scale (Rheinberg - Vollmayer). Older adolescents showed a lesser satisfaction with life; girls worry more about the health problems and relations with parents, teachers and friends than boys. Flow was continuously experienced only by 25%, frequently experienced by 14%. Several correlation analyses are made accessible.

The objective of the present research was to examine the relationship of income below the ‘at-risk-of-poverty threshold’ and well-being variables among selected groups of Slovak citizens based on the analysis of secondary data. Responses of 7851 Slovaks selected from the EU-SILC 2013 data (N = 13286) were analysed. The participants were selected on the basis of self-defined current economic status as follows: employees working full-time (n = 5156), the unemployed (n = 845), retirees (n = 1850). The stepwise multiple regressions revealed that the relationship of income to well-being variables in each of these three groups was different. The differentiated income effect in relation to well-being variables depending on self-defined economic status and study limitations were discussed.

People tend to think that money is the most important factor that make them happy. But not only do economic factors influence our happiness. There are lots of socio-demographic, ecological, cultural or psychological factors that determine our well-being and welfare. However, the problem with happiness is that the same actions can make one person happy but not another. This article presents in what ways all the aforementioned factors can determine our well-being, welfare and influence our happiness. Except for a pure educational use, this knowledge can be very useful for government while deciding about economic changes.

Studies related to well-being of older people have been carried out in the past with two types of variables: those reflecting socioeconomic factors, and those referring to psychological and psycho-social variables. Since one of the important psychological variables - goal-achievement strategies - can be different in older age, the relationships between strategy use in older people and their well-being are valuable to explore. In this research the authors used the model of goal-achievement strategies (selection, optimization and compensation) in elderly proposed by Baltes and Baltes (1990). The short version of the SOC questionnaire (Selection, Optimization and Compensation; Baltes et al., 1999), the Global happiness item and the Global satisfaction item as measures of two dimensions of subjective well-being were individually administered to 355 people 65-96 years old in Western Croatia. The results indicate that in goal-achievement, older people with higher level of well-being use more frequently strategies of optimization and compensation, while those with lower level of well-being use the strategy of selection more frequently.

Research on the explanatory style model of optimistic mind-set has burgeoned in the last decades. The present study presents the first examination of a new measure of the optimistic mind-set, the MQ Test. The MQ Test uses 36 personal and work situations for prompting responses; however, it applies a situational judgment test approach. In the present study, cross-sectional data with 437 Hungarian employees showed low to acceptable level of internal consistency and good test-retest reliability for the subscales. Exploratory and confirmative factor analyses provided evidence for separate sub-dimensions of negative (N) and positive (P) events. Accordingly, a 14 item Short MQ Test version was developed with P and N subscales. Structural equation models showed that P and N were differently and positively related to dispositional optimism, hope, self-esteem, self-efficacy and satisfaction with life. The limitations and potential merits of the MQ Test are discussed, along with its potential further development.

The research studies focus on several consequences of helping work which can be experienced by helping professionals most often – compassion satisfaction (Stamm, 1999; Stamm, 2010), compassion fatigue (Figley, 1995; Figley, 2002; Stamm, 2010), burnout (Figley, 1995; Figley, 2002; Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996; Stamm, 2010), and perceived stress (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983; Tilley & Chambers, 2003). The research studies suggest that it is possible to increase the level of compassion satisfaction and decrease the level of compassion fatigue (secondary traumatic stress and burnout) among helping professionals by performing self-care activities (Alkema, Linton, & Davies, 2008; Bloomquist et al., 2015; Killian, 2008; Lawson & Myers, 2011). The present research study was therefore focused on the analysis of compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, burnout, emotional well-being, and self-care among helping professionals in Slovakia. The first aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of selected, positive and negative, aspects of professional helping (compassion satisfaction, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, emotional well-being and performed self-care) among the Slovak helping professionals. The second aim of the study was to examine the predictive utility of emotional well-being and self-care activities in explaining the level of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress among helping professionals in Slovakia. The results indicated the higher incidence of positive than negative aspects of helping among helping professionals who experienced higher levels of compassion satisfaction, higher levels of positive emotions; and lower levels of negative emotions, burnout and secondary traumatic stress. The results also suggested that the helping professionals performed more physical than psychological self-care activities. The results indicated the importance of emotional well-being and performed self-care activities in explaining the levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress experienced by Slovak helping professionals working in institutions providing social care for orphans. The findings of the research provide a deeper insight into the positive and negative effects of the professional helping and will be used as a research background in the subsequent preparation of the intervention programmes aimed at promoting compassion satisfaction and eliminating burnout and secondary traumatic stress among helping professionals in Slovakia.

Drawing on Transactional Model of Temperament proposed by Eliasz, the present paper addresses the issue of temporal and transsituational changes in temperament and their consequences for behavior and well-being. Temporal changes relate to biological bases of temperament that determines the average level of behavior dynamics. Initially, temporal changes are instrumental in coping with aversive stimulation: sensitization occurs under weak stimulation, whereas desensitization occurs under strong stimulation. Both sensitization and desensitization are considered as active regulatory mechanisms. However, when these two regulatory mechanisms are no longer sufficient, they would be replaced by passive regulation of stimulation. When not seconded by changes on other levels of the system for stimulation control, passive changes in temperament become destructive. Transsituational changes of temperament involve deviations form the individual average level of behavior dynamics and reflect the impact of environment on temperament. With repetitive occurrences of changes within the environment these deviations become stabilized and their profile may be compared to the notion of 'behavioral signature of the individual' introduced by Shoda. Biological foundations of temperament characterize people from the earliest stages of their life and have an impact on the development of other mechanisms of stimulation control. Regulatory mechanisms appearing later in life are shaped by social environment and often are at variance with individual capacity determined by temperament. They constitute internal 'sore points' and become a permanent source of destabilization within the system of stimulation control.

We have developed our analyses based on the assumption that happiness indicates the positive emotional harmony with oneself, in particular with: a) personal status; b) living conditions and c) life perspectives. We consider the feeling of happiness registered in 2016/17 by the Eighth wave of the European Social Survey (ESS). Our main research questions here are why people in different European countries feel or do not feel happy; what the main factors influencing this feeling are, what their strongest impact is, and what the main set of differences and similarities across different parts of Europe are. We have selected eleven ESS European countries for the analyses: Spain, Portugal, The UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Hungary, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Poland and The Czech Republic. The main criteria for choosing them were the following: a) geographical location b) socio-political background c) economic development (Mature vs. Emerging economies). In this analysis we have used the sociological interpretations of happiness (Tilkidgiev, 2006; Veenhoven, 2008; Durand & Exton, 2019; Dimova & Dimov, 2010; OECD, 2017; Peasgood, Foster, & Dolan, 2019). Empirical evidences from the ESS suggest that happiness is not equal to life satisfaction –neither in daily nor from more general perspectives. In all countries, people that feel happy are more than those who are satisfied with their lives. In other words, people can feel happy even if not totally satisfied with their life as a whole. In the European context, the strongest determinants of happiness are age, health, income, religion and education.

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between affect regulation styles and decision making in health-care professionals. The authors suppose that emotions and affect regulation are closely connected with decision making in the professional situations. 133 health-care professionals participated in the study which employed Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire, Measure of Affect Regulation Styles, Multidimensional Health States Scale and subjective measure of decision making effectiveness. Using the cluster analysis, the authors derived a typology of four types based on affect regulation strategies and well-being and ill-being variables. The individual types were compared in regard to decision making styles and decision self-efficacy. The results showed that highest subjective effectiveness and vigilance were found in types with high cognitive and behavioural engagement. Low subjective effectiveness with high hyper-vigilance, buck-passing and procrastination were found in types with low use of all affect regulation strategies, especially when they were connected with the higher ill-being.
