Regressions are also controlled for family status, employment status and region. Observations with missing values were dropped (listwise deletion). CWB (SWLS, higher values indicate high CWB); NA (PANAS, high values indicate high NA); PA (PANAS, high values indicate high PA); Functional health (Subscale 'Physical Functioning' of the SF-36, high values indicate high functional health); Mental health (CES-D, high values indicate low mental health).
