Description
Definition
The Positive Experience Index is a measure of respondents' experienced wellbeing on the day before the survey. Questions provide a real-time measure of respondents' positive experiences.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- Did you feel well-rested yesterday? (WP60)
- Were you treated with respect all day yesterday? (WP61)
- Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday? (WP63)
- Did you learn or do something interesting yesterday? (WP65)
- Did you experience the following feelings during a lot of the day yesterday? How about enjoyment? (WP67)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual the following procedure applies: The five items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are scored as a "0." If a record has no answer for an item, then that item is not eligible for inclusion in the calculations. An individual record has an index calculated if it has at least four out of five valid scores (0 or 1). The record's final score is the mean of valid items multiplied by 100. The final country-level index score is the mean of all individual records for which an index score was calculated. Country-level weights are applied to this calculation.
RELIABILITY
The Positive Experience Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .91 when aggregated at the country level.
