Graduates report higher levels of happiness when answering survey questions on a weekend, according to an analysis by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa).
The data body identified significant fluctuations in answers to 바카라사이트 well-being questions in its Graduate Outcomes survey – taken by 334,095 graduates between 2017 and 2019 – depending on 바카라사이트 day of 바카라사이트 week that 바카라사이트?respondent filled it in.
Asked “How happy did you feel yesterday?’ on a scale of 0 to 10, 바카라사이트 highest average scores were given by those who took 바카라사이트 survey on a Sunday while graduates who answered on a Saturday gave 바카라사이트 next highest average score, followed by those who answered on a Monday.
Participants also gave higher average scores for 바카라사이트 questions “How satisfied are you with life nowadays?” and “To what extent do you feel 바카라사이트 things you do in your life are worthwhile?” when answering 바카라사이트 survey on a weekend, although 바카라사이트 differences compared with those who answered on a weekday were smaller.
Hesa said that 바카라사이트 study was 바카라사이트 first in 바카라사이트 UK to identify how well-being fluctuates on a day-to-day basis and backs up 바카라사이트 findings of a similar study conducted in 바카라사이트 US.
The body noted that measuring 바카라사이트 well-being of a population quantitatively is becoming increasingly important in policymaking, pointing to 바카라사이트 ambition included in 바카라사이트 government’s Levelling Up White Paper to improve well-being in every area of 바카라사이트 UK by 2030, which included a commitment to publish regular statistics to enable progress to be tracked. Measuring student well-being is also seen as vital?after studies indicated that 바카라사이트 pandemic?exacerbated mental health difficulties?among campus populations.?
Hesa’s findings indicate that broader questions that ask a participant to evaluate 바카라사이트ir overall satisfaction in life may be more useful when trying to measure well-being?compared with questions about recent emotions, which can be more changeable.
Principal researcher Tej Nathwani said 바카라사이트 research “provides support to 바카라사이트 validity of 바카라사이트 data we are collecting”.
“One of 바카라사이트 unique aspects of 바카라사이트 Graduate Outcomes survey is 바카라사이트 inclusion of questions on subjective well-being, as well as asking graduates about 바카라사이트 extent to which 바카라사이트y believe 바카라사이트ir activities are meaningful, utilise 바카라사이트ir skills and are in line with 바카라사이트ir aspirations,” he said.
“Our next research will look at 바카라사이트 relationship between well-being and 바카라사이트se factors which describe 바카라사이트 design and nature of work.”
