Zusammenfassung

Das folgende Kapitel widmet sich der Operationalisierung des Begriffes Glück im Kulturvergleich. Dieses Kapitel hat das Ziel die generelle Operationalisierbarkeit, sowie Schwierigkeiten und auftretende Unterschiede bei einer kulturvergleichenden Perspektive strukturiert darzustellen. Dafür wird im ersten Teil auf die Entwicklung des Forschungskonstrukts Wohlbefinden an sich eingegangen und darauf folgend auf die Ergebnisse bisheriger Forschung zur Entstehung von Wohlbefinden. Im Anschluss wird aufgezeigt, warum eine kulturvergleichende Perspektive für das Verständnis des Konstruktes notwendig ist und was subjektive Lebenszufriedenheit ist. Dadurch soll ein grundlegendes Verständnis über die Wechselwirkungen Glück, Lebenszufriedenheit, subjektives Wohlbefinden und Kulturellen Dimensionen geschaffen werden.
