Isi artikel

Cross-cultural comparisons of data obtained through self-reports underlie several methodological limitations to find objective determinants of Subjective Well-Being (SWB). Cultural relativism emphasizes that because societies vary in their values, individuals in them use different criteria for judging the performance of societies, which heavily influence respondent’s self-report measurements. Also translation of questionnaires might have an impact on SWB measurement results of self-reports. Furthermore there are several interfering factors like response biases and cultural differences which affect measuring SWB scores between societies. The methodological limitations and difficulties of cross-cultural measurements have been marginally addressed in empirical research and might impact SWB scaling across nations. Furthermore they might affect underlying comparisons and the validity of drawn conclusions within the academic discourse of SWB. It is necessary to consider these methodological issues in further studies to provide more clarity.
