We find that both community connectedness and perceptions of financial well-being are positively associated with subjective well-being. However, neither personal safety perceptions nor worries regarding a potential war affect subjective well-being significantly. This has important theoretical implications as previous literature posited that safety and security may be a predictor of subjective well-being in war-affected countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using data from the World Values Survey wave 7 (Haerpfer et al., 2020), this paper looks at basic needs as a major predictor of subjective well-being.
