Description
Definition
The Social Wellbeing Index assesses a respondent's social support structure and opportunities to make friends in the city or area where he or she lives.
INDEX QUESTIONS
- If you were in trouble, do you have relatives or friends you can count on to help you whenever you need them, or not? (WP27)
- In the city or area where you live, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the opportunities to meet people and make friends? (WP10248)
INDEX CONSTRUCTION
Index scores are calculated at the individual record level. For each individual record the following procedure applies: The two items are recoded so that positive answers are scored as a "1" and all other answers (including don't know and refused) are assigned a score of "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 valid scores for both questions. A record's final index 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 Social Wellbeing Index has a Cronbach's alpha of .65 when aggregated at the country level.
