Abstract

[This chapter describes a plethora of studies that have closely examined distinctions among concepts related to subjective aspects of quality of life, such as those that were spelled out in the earlier chapter. I start out with the distinction between subjective and objective indicators of quality of life; then I make the distinction between input and outcome indicators of quality of life, after which I discuss the distinction between inner and outer aspects of quality of life. Then, I shift gears and describe studies that have focused on making a clear distinction between happiness and life satisfaction. Following this discussion, the concept of subjective wellbeing is described as an umbrella concept incorporating both affective and cognitive dimensions of wellbeing. I also discuss research distinguishing between subjective wellbeing and Eudaimonia and its variants as well as the differences between hedonic wellbeing and eudaimonic wellbeing. Two models were also presented making further distinctions of between wellbeing and illbeing, namely the structural model and the hierarchical model.]
