Subjective wellbeing and social comparisons in Thailand

The database contains variables measured at two points in time, with a one-year gap between the two surveys. Some of the variables were only measured once, while others were measured at both points. In addition to standard socioeconomic variables, this dataset includes measures of life satisfaction, respectively subjective well-being. The main focus of the data revolves around social and income comparisons via reference groups or individuals, measured in different ways—for example, through name generators, position generators, and various Likert-scale variables. In addition, different personality traits have been collected using standardized scales, such as Power Distance or the Big Five. Measures of perceived inequality were also collected in the second round of the survey. The database contains variables measured at two points in time, with a one-year gap between the two surveys.
