Questions 1. What is life quality? 2. Does economic development = improved life quality? 3. How does life quality relate to the natural environment?
How do we measure ‘life quality’? One way is through social indicators
What is a ‘social indicator’? a statistic of direct normative interest which facilitates --- judgments about the condition of -- a society. (U. S. Department of Health, Education, Welfare, 1969)
That is----The major traditional social indicators ≈ money or at least the products and services that money can buy. So, around the world, prior to 1970’s Quality of Life = GDP.
Following the Second World War, many countries experienced strong economic growth 550 500 450 400 GDP held as a percent of its 1958 value 350 Deflated GDP/capita 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 1958 1960 1962 1964 1966 1970 1974 1976 1978 1980 1982 1987 Year

Tourism enhances economic development. It also raises the need for infrastructure and energy consumption Does this kind of development confer a net benefit on the host population ? Are people becoming happier as a result of economic development?
Life satisfaction Since the 1950 s, surveys in many countries have included the question: ‘Considering your life as a whole, how satisfied are you with your life? ’

Quality of Life Objective Conditions e. g. Physical health Objective QOL Subjective Perceptions e. g. Satisfaction with health ? Subjective Wellbeing [happiness]
Subjective Wellbeing A positive state of mind that involves the whole life experience How do we measure it?
How satisfied are you with your life as a whole? The first-level deconstruction is--- How satisfied are you with your-----? • Standard of living • Health • Achieving in life • Relationships • Safety • Community connectedness • Future security • Spirituality/Religion ( Personal Wellbeing Index )
Domains: all must contribute unique variance Standard of living Health Achieving in life Relationships Safety Community connectedness Future security Spirituality/Religion β β β β “How satisfied are you with your life as a whole? ”
[Jones and Thurstone , 1955] 11 -point, end-defined scale How satisfied are you with your ----? Completely Dissatisfied 0 1 Completely Satisfied 2 3 4 5 6 8 8 9 10
Personal Wellbeing Index How satisfied are you with your-----? • Standard of living • Health • Achieving in life • Relationships • Safety • Community connectedness • Future security • Spirituality/Religion
We code all data to lie on a range from Complete dissatisfaction 0 Complete satisfaction 100
Why is subjective wellbeing important? Positive emotions build a range of personal resources as: Physical resources (health, longevity) Social resources (friendliness, social capital) Intellectual resources (intellectual curiosity, expert knowledge, ) Psychological resources (resilience, optimism, creativity)
In 2000 we linked with our industry partner, Australian Unity Purpose: to create a quarterly index of subjective wellbeing for the Australian population. As an alternative to the traditional economic indicators such as GDP

Why is happiness held so steady? Homeostasis Just like we hold body temperature steady Subjective wellbeing homeostasis
Homeostasis is maintained by using resources for defence Bad stuff X Major external protective resources (Money, Relationships) Subjective wellbeing Internal resources (eg. Finding meaning for the bad event) Protective resources allow people to defend homeostasis and their happiness
Homeostasis can fail Overwhelming Negative Challenges Subjective wellbeing The result of subjective wellbeing loss is depression
What are the major risk factors for homeostatic defeat? General principles Resilience (the power to defend wellbeing against sources of threat) is a balance between resources and stress 2. Both resources and threats concern the person’s whole life, not just in some life compartment (eg work).
