Abstract

Iran is a developing country with low levels of economic development and globalization and is ruled by a theocratic government. To address the lack of national research on well-being in Iran, this retrospective observational study aims to examine life satisfaction and its main determinants among Iranian adults. Using World Gallup Poll data collected between 2006 and 2017, we examined life satisfaction as a cognitive aspect of subjective well-being in relation to various factors. Our results show that income is the strongest predictor of life satisfaction, followed by standard of living, gender, social support, age, negative affect, and education. In developing countries such as Iran, which face significant economic, political, and social challenges, individuals prioritize the satisfaction of basic needs by emphasizing factors such as the socioeconomic status. In contrast, developed countries with established welfare systems may emphasize other values such as social connections and healthy lifestyle behaviors as key factors in life satisfaction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the determinants of life satisfaction in Iran and provides insights for future research and policy making.

生活满意度的预测因素:伊朗全国调查
伊朗是一个发展中国家,经济发展和全球化水平较低,由神权政府统治。为了解决伊朗缺乏全国性福祉研究的问题,这项回顾性观察研究旨在考察伊朗成年人的生活满意度及其主要决定因素。利用 2006 年至 2017 年间收集的世界盖洛普民意调查数据,我们研究了作为主观幸福感认知方面的生活满意度与各种因素的关系。结果显示,收入是生活满意度的最强预测因素,其次是生活水平、性别、社会支持、年龄、负面情绪和教育。在伊朗等发展中国家,面临着巨大的经济、政治和社会挑战,个人优先考虑满足基本需求,强调社会经济地位等因素。相比之下,拥有成熟福利制度的发达国家可能会强调其他价值,如社会关系和健康的生活方式行为,将其作为生活满意度的关键因素。本研究有助于加深对伊朗生活满意度决定因素的理解,并为今后的研究和政策制定提供启示。
