Subiektywna jakość życia a status społeczno-ekonomiczny. Na przykładzie mieszkańców Łodzi
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2014, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
The article contributes to the debate on the subjective quality of life in the context of structural diversity. The object of analysis is the subjective quality of life of the inhabitants of Lodz, Poland, in the global perspective (overall satisfaction with life) and in the contexts of particular fields of study. The main objective of this article was to determine the relationship between field-specific and global indicators of the subjective quality of life and the analysis of subjective quality of life in the context of the diversified socio-economic status. Analyses were carried out on the basis of data collected during the survey study conducted in 2011–2012 on a representative sample of residents of Lodz. In the described research project, life satisfaction was analyzed based on the classical measurement tool – Cantril ladder. Another component of the evaluation of psychological wellbeing was the analysis of satisfaction with 12 spheres of life. Individual questions included in the module were developed by the project team based on empirical findings and results of theoretical research available to date. Based on the correlation analysis, linear regression and hierarchical linear regression analyses, it was established that the subjective quality of life is strongly correlated with the assessment of own social position; subjective quality of life and the assessment of own social position are correlated with SES; objective variables that make up the socio-economic status and the SES index have less explanatory power than the assessment of own social position made by the respondents.
