metadata.value: The problem of studying subjective well-being (as people’s subjective estimation of their own life) is
  one of the principle topics in social studies for quality of life. Foreign sociology traditionally emphasizes
  the analysis of spiritual and religious determinants of people’s subjective well-being. In Russian
  sociology, the given area is still under-investigated. The article represents the discussion of the possibility
  for sociological study of subjective well-being of believers, including its cognitive component; i.e.
  people’s satisfaction with various aspects of their life. Empirical research through a survey was aimed
  at comparing the peculiarities of respondents’ estimations of their own life in a cross-confessional
  perspective (Orthodoxy and Protestantism). As to the Orthodox group, additionally the interconnection
  between the level of religiosity (based on the criterion of religious behavior) and subjective
  well-being was analyzed. As it turned out, the respondents are mostly satisfied with those spheres of
  life that are connected with interpersonal relations inside and outside the community. It was found
  that the most significant components of subjective well-being, that affect people’s general estimation
  of their life, are represented by satisfaction with relations with people of opposite sex, clergy, family
  members, as well as satisfaction with the material well-being, personal qualities and leisure. The exposed
  cross-confessional peculiarities of people’s estimation of their own life can be interpreted in the
  context of both cultural/confessional causes and psychological/social factors, which requires further
  investigation. In the two groups of the Orthodox, categorized according to the level of their churchattendance,
  the subjective evaluation of life generally depends on various indicators that characterize
  satisfaction with particular spheres of life. This finding point at the existence of not only Protestant
  and Orthodox profiles of well-being, but also the profile connected with religious behaviour inside the
  Orthodox group. In general, the level of church-attendance is positively connected with satisfaction
  with various spheres of life and common estimation of one’s own life. The obtained results can be used
  for developing or clarification of methodological tools and further empirical studies of the quality of
  life of believers. Refs 29. Tables 8.
