SATISFACTION WITH LIFE: COMPARISON BETWEEN SLOVENIA AND RUSSIA

,

Abstract:  This paper presents research in satisfaction with life in Slovenia and Russia. We analyzed the impact of gender and the amount of salary in the satisfaction with life in Slovenia (citizens in Ljubljana) and Russia (citizens in Moscow). The main goal of the research is to determine whether (and how) the impact of gender and the amount of salary on the satisfaction with life. A written “online” survey (with Google-drive) was conducted from 13/4/2017 to 7/5/2017. We observed that there is a statistically significant difference between Russian and Slovenian people (p-value = 0.000) in the satisfaction with life. We found out that there isn’t statistically significantly different between gender in satisfaction with life in Slovenia (p-value= 0.944) and Russia (p-value=0.876). Based on the linear regression model (data for Slovenia: F = 0.432, p-value = 0.513, R-square = 0.005 and data for Russia, F = 2.543, p-value = 0.114, R-square = 0.026) we found out that there isn’t a statistically significant at 5% significance level relationship between the amount of salary and satisfaction with life in both countries.
