Subjective wellbeing, 'Anxious Yesterday', percentage of responses in range 4-10

Percentage of responses in range 4-10 out of 10 (corresponding to 'low wellbeing') for 'Anxious Yesterday' in the First ONS Annual Experimental Subjective Wellbeing survey.

The Office for National Statistics has included the four subjective well-being questions below on the Annual Population Survey (APS), the largest of their household surveys.

- Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays?
- Overall, to what extent do you feel the things you do in your life are worthwhile?
- Overall, how happy did you feel yesterday?
- Overall, how anxious did you feel yesterday?

This dataset presents results from the last of these questions, "Overall, how anxious did you feel yesterday?" Respondents answer these questions on an 11 point scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is ‘not at all’ and 10 is ‘completely’. The well-being questions were asked of adults aged 16 and older.

Well-being estimates for each unitary authority or county are derived using data from those respondents who live in that place. Responses are weighted to the estimated population of adults (aged 16 and older) as at end of September 2011.

The data cabinet also makes available the proportion of people in each county and unitary authority that answer with ‘low wellbeing’ values. For the ‘anxious yesterday’ question answers in the range 4-10 are taken to be low wellbeing. Unlike the other questions, in this case a high value of the response corresponds to low wellbeing.

This dataset contains the percentage of responses in the range 4-10. It also contains the standard error, the sample size and lower and upper confidence limits at the 95% level.

The ONS survey covers the whole of the UK, but this dataset only includes results for counties and unitary authorities in England, for consistency with other statistics available at this website.

At this stage the estimates are considered ‘experimental statistics’, published at an early stage to involve users in their development and to allow feedback. Feedback can be provided to the ONS via this email address.

The APS is a continuous household survey administered by the Office for National Statistics. It covers the UK, with the chief aim of providing between-census estimates of key social and labour market variables at a local area level. Apart from employment and unemployment, the topics covered in the survey include housing, ethnicity, religion, health and education. When a household is surveyed all adults (aged 16+) are asked the four subjective well-being questions.

The 12 month Subjective Well-being APS dataset is a sub-set of the general APS as the well-being questions are only asked of persons aged 16 and above, who gave a personal interview and proxy answers are not accepted. This reduces the size of the achieved sample to approximately 120,000 adult respondents in England.

As well as collecting data on well-being, the Office for National Statistics has published
widely on the topic of wellbeing. Papers and further information can be found [here](http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/user-guidance/well-being/index.html).

本数据集揭示了首次国家统计局年度实验性主观幸福感调查中，关于‘昨日焦虑程度’问题在4-10分区间（对应‘低幸福感’）的响应比例。国家统计局在其年度人口调查（APS）中纳入了以下四个主观幸福感问题，该调查为其最大的家庭调查之一。

- 总体而言，您目前对生活的满意度如何？
- 总体而言，您认为您在生活中所做的事情在多大程度上是有价值的？
- 总体而言，您昨天有多快乐？
- 总体而言，您昨天有多焦虑？

本数据集展示了上述问题的最后一个——“总体而言，您昨天有多焦虑？”——的回答结果。受访者针对这些问题在0至10分的11点量表上作答，其中0表示‘一点也不’，10表示‘完全’。幸福感问题针对16岁及以上的成年人进行提问。

每个单一行政区域或县级行政区的幸福感估计值是基于居住在该地的受访者数据得出的。响应经过加权，以反映截至2011年9月底16岁及以上的成年人估计人口。

数据柜还提供了每个县和单一行政区域内回答‘低幸福感’值的人数的比例。对于‘昨日焦虑’问题，4-10分的回答被视为低幸福感。与其它问题不同，在这种情况下，响应值越高，代表的幸福感越低。

本数据集包含了4-10分区间响应的百分比，以及标准误差、样本量以及95%置信水平下的上下置信限。

ONS调查覆盖了整个英国，但本数据集仅包含英格兰的县和单一行政区域的结果，以与其他本网站可用的统计数据保持一致。

目前，这些估计值被视为‘实验性统计数据’，在早期发布以供用户参与其发展并允许提供反馈。反馈可以通过此电子邮件地址提交给ONS。

APS是由国家统计局实施的连续家庭调查。该调查覆盖了整个英国，主要目的是在人口普查之间提供关键社会和劳动力变量在地方层面的估计值。除了就业和失业之外，调查还包括住房、种族、宗教、健康和教育等主题。当对家庭进行调查时，所有16岁及以上的成年人都会被问及这四个主观幸福感问题。

12个月主观幸福感APS数据集是APS数据的一般子集，因为幸福感问题仅针对16岁及以上、进行个人访谈且不接受代理回答的人提问。这减少了实现的样本量，英格兰大约有12万成年受访者。
