Abstract
Subjective well-being (SWB) as a psychological construct is a relatively new field of positive psychology.

They responded in Hindi to Global Life Satisfaction Scale, Contentment Scale, scale of positive and negative experiences, Optimism Scale and Self-esteem Scale. ANOVAs result indicates that optimism and self-esteem have significant effect on global life satisfaction, positive and negative affect while self-esteem has significant effect on contentment.
