Written by <strong>Amalie Oxholm Kusier, <\/strong>M.A and <strong>Anna Paldam Folker<\/strong>, PhD, this work takes a look at well-being matters in everyday decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well-being matters in decisions about everyday priorities and decisions. It is also relevant for prioritizing health interventions and public policy. During the last twenty years empirical research on well-being has increased significantly. Likewise, a growing conviction that it is possible to measure people\u2019s well-being, and that the results can be used in guiding governmental decisions. The increased use of well-being scales creates a need for an in-depth understanding of what we measure when measuring well-being. In the paper we examine the hedonistic foundation of the Well-being Index WHO-5 &#8211; a widely used well-being scale within public health. We explore how two central assumptions of hedonistic theory are reflected in the construction of WHO-5. First, \u2019the hedonic balance\u2019; the relation between positive and negative emotions. Second, \u2019the value of emotions\u2019; how to determine the duration and intensity of emotions. We also contrast Hedonism with Life Satisfaction Theory, an alternative foundational, theory of well-being to explicate what it means that WHO-5 is an evaluation of positive affect rather than a cognitive judgement of life satisfaction. We argue that a better grasp of underlying theory provides an important context for the interpretation of the results of well-being scales and their practical limitations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2554 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2020\/09\/amalie-oxholm-kusier-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"A headshot of Amalie against a white background.
