The Executive Office today published figures for Northern Ireland for 2022/23 across four areas of wellbeing:
Loneliness - measures the frequency with which people report feeling lonely.
Self-Efficacy - a person's belief about their capabilities to exercise influence over events that affect their lives
Personal Wellbeing - measures how satisfied people are with their lives, their levels of happiness and anxiety, and whether or not they think the things they do are worthwhile
Locus of Control (LoC) - the degree to which a person feels in control of their life. Individuals with an internal LoC believe in their own influence and control while those with an external LoC believe control over their lives is determined by outside factors
For the following key findings, scales for self-efficacy and locus of control range from 5 to 25. Scales for personal wellbeing measures range from 0 to 10. A higher score signifies better wellbeing in the self-efficacy, life satisfaction, worthwhile, happiness and locus of control metrics, whereas a lower score signifies better wellbeing in the anxiety metric. Please also note that all differences reported are statistically significant.
The report is available on the Executive Office's website at: www.executiveoffice-ni.gov.uk/publications/wellbeing-northern-ireland-report-202223
