Quantitative survey questions for relational wellbeing

[Shauna Mahajan]

Hi everyone,

My team is working to develop a household survey instrument, aimed at measuring the impacts of a conservation intervention on human wellbeing. I am curious if anyone has had any experience with quantitative surveys addresses relational wellbeing in particular? We are drawing inspiration from the wellbeing in developing countries research group (WeD) and defining wellbeing as "a state of being with others, where human needs are met, where one can act meaningfully to pursue one’s goals, and where one enjoys a satisfactory quality of life" (McGregor, 2008)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

All the best,

Shauna

Hello, Shauna

You might want to take a look at the work we have been doing in Puget Sound.  Here are the indicators:  https://www.eopugetsound.org/sites/default/files/files/Human%20Wellbeing%20indicators%20TechMemo.pdf.

We are using a household survey every two years to monitor the majority of indicators.  Others are collected via existing data.  I'd be happy to chat with you more.

Best,
