Title: Life Satisfaction and Happiness Explained by Domain Satisfaction and Background Conditions
Abstract: In this chapter life satisfaction and happiness are explained by domain satisfaction and background conditions using the simple additive model. In the next section I review my previous research with this model. Following that, I give the results of applying this model to my global sample taken as a whole, and to males and females taken separately (5.3). Section 5.4 reviews country analyses. In the penultimate section I introduce the idea of a prediction success ratio for scientific theories and assess the simple additive model's performance on the basis of this notion. Finally, I review some special cases in which different domain satisfaction scores had fairly unique and substantial influence on life satisfaction or happiness.
