In fact, overweight and obesity are killing more people than underweight in many counties. This paper examines the association between body mass index (BMI) and happiness in different regions including Africa, the Russian Commonwealth, Europe, Latin America, and South Asia using parallel panel data from 88 countries. This paper estimates random effects panel data models with instrumental variables using generalised method of moments (GMM) approach. The empirical results show that lifestyles vary between regions, thus the contribution of happiness to the prevalence of overweight and obesity varies across different regions. Life happiness does not have much effect on overweight and obesity in Africa, Latin America, or the Russian Commonwealth. However, life happiness contributes positively to overweight but not to obesity in South Asia. In South Asia, being a little bit fat or overweight is a sign of happiness, but being obese is a sign of unhealthy.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJHD.2019.099360","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42732626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of the study revealed that migration, trade, population, political openness, and corruption were significant and have an impact on human development and remittances.

This study explores the quality of public space such as market square in the rural neighbourhood at South-west, Nigeria from the users' perception. The study's findings revealed that respondents' satisfaction level of public space's comfortability, maintenance and amenities received unsatisfactory appraisals. On the other hand, appraisal of public space's barrier was satisfactory which indicates that the user's needs and expectations were met in this regard. This study inferred that public spaces within the built environment in Nigeria needed to be improved upon in order to enhance the quality of the environment as well as residents' quality of life. Collaborative efforts are recommended between all the stakeholders in the built environment towards integrating public space policy as an integral part of a sustainable and healthy environment in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42939214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of domain based investigations of may not translate to the younger echo boomer generation due to a lack of relevancy to their lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to examine subjective well-being across race, gender, and school classification among college students without domain classification. Volunteer participants received surveys that contained demographic questions and items assessing subjective happiness. Surveys were completed by 1,724 students and analysed statistically. Results showed significant differences in mean subjective happiness scores between race and school classification. No significant differences were found in mean subjective happiness scores between men and women. Findings suggest that the echo boomer generation differs from previous generations in subjective well-being across demographics.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43938998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interventions to improve well-being have proven largely unsuccessful, as psychosocial aspects were completely disregarded. This study investigated the influence of self-efficacy and social support on the psychological well-being of residents in Ilaje oil-producing community in the Niger-Delta region of Ondo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was used for the study. A questionnaire consisting of personal data information, social support scale (SSS), self-efficacy scale (SES) and Ryff's psychological well-being scale (RPWBS) were used for data collection. The participants consisted of 86 (57.7%) males and 63 (42.3%) females. The results indicated that participants' self-efficacy had no significant influence on their psychological well-being. Social support contributes significantly to psychological well-being. The study concluded that social support determined the psychological well-being of residents in the study area. The study has practical implications for policy-makers in the oil and gas industry to design intervention strategies that could boost the well-being of residents in oil-producing communities of the Niger-Delta region, Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49546168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an attempt to explain these ambiguous results, this study investigates the effect of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita on happiness by taking into account the role of air pollution in each country using annual unbalanced panel data of 59 countries between 2005 and 2015. The results indicated that an increase in GDP per capita can lead to a decrease in happiness if air pollution level is sufficiently high and, in contrast, can lead to an increase in happiness if air pollution level is too low. Moreover, our results revealed monotonic and non-monotonic relationships between air pollution and happiness. We also found that leaving air pollution out of the analysis led to about 15-27% underestimation of the income effect. These results provide some important implications for policymakers seeking to increase economic growth without aggravating happiness.","PeriodicalId":42619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Happiness and Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46821215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
