The Arab Spring provoked significant political turbulence in the region which impacted people's perceptions of happiness and life satisfaction. People's initial values regarding the importance of political participation, government accountability, democracy and economic equality also affected these perceptions and were strongly shaped by these changes. Egypt is one of the few countries that experienced both a high intensity of conflict and regime change in the region. We rely on data from two waves of the World Values Survey, one conducted shortly before, and another immediately after the uprising. Using logistic regressions and difference-in-difference estimation, our results show that Egyptians are less happy and have lower life satisfaction yet are more interested in politics and income equality in comparison to before the Arab Spring. Furthermore, Egyptians who valued politics, democracy, and income equality highest witnessed the steepest decline in their happiness and life satisfaction after the Arab Spring.

We study the citizens' perception of geopolitical fragility and livelihood-related vulnerabilities in context of conflict economies. The case in point is of Syria, which continues to face several rudimentary socio-economic challenges owing to the ongoing conflict. We analyse 280 responses from Syrian citizens and employ statistical techniques to derive relevant findings. The findings of this study reveals that the citizen's perception of fragility in Syria differs on the basis of gender and age group. Also, the most impactful factors as perceived by the Syrian citizens include the following: mistrust in society (psycho-social factor), fear of losing the opportunity to study (social security factor), food security and crisis (livelihood factor), damaging of transport sector owing to geopolitical situation (governance factor), and, losing hope in good governance (socio-economic factor). This study can provide useful inputs for developmental interventions by policy makers and intergovernmental organisations.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationships among positivity, forgiveness, religious attitudes and subjective happiness on university students. The current study has been conducted in correlational design. The participants of the study consisted of 798 university students who were studying at different universities in Turkey. Participants completed the questionnaire packet including four different scales: subjective happiness scale (SHS), positivity scale (PS), forgiveness scale (FS) and Ok-religious attitude scale (ORAS). Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyse the obtained data. The results indicated that positivity and forgiveness predicted subjective happiness significantly, and collectively accounted 22% of the variance of subjective happiness. However, according to the results, religious attitude did not significantly predict subjective happiness. The results obtained from the research were discussed in a light of related literature and several suggestions were made.
