ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we examine the cognitive aspects of wellbeing for Singaporeans, measured in the 2022 QOL Survey using the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Cantril Ladder and items assessing satisfaction with specific life domains. The influence of certain demographic variables on life satisfaction and satisfaction with specific life domains is also investigated. Where applicable, the results are compared with the 2011 and 2016 QOL Surveys. The 2022 score for Satisfaction with Life was lower compared to 2016. Singaporeans’ score on the Cantril Ladder remained on the 6th rung in 2022, and was a significant decline compared to 2016. The scores for satisfaction with the 15 life domains have also dipped over the years since 2011.
