Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate relations between anomia and subjective well-being in Latvian and Lithuanian population. The Latvian sample consisted of 1005 inhabitants of Latvia aged from 18 to 74 (M = 44.77, SD = 14.58), 47.8% males and 52.2% females. The Lithuanian sample consisted of 1005 inhabitants of Lithuania aged from 18 to 91 (M= 52.15, SD = 17.75), 42.2% males and 52.8% females. Four questions from Omnibus survey were used - three questions measured dimensions of anomia (normiessness, social isolation, and meaninglessness), and one question measured subjective well-being. It was found that both in Latvian and Lithuanian samples normlessness, social isolation, and meaninglessness are negatively related to subjective well-being, and all three dimensions of anomia are significant predictors for subjective well-being explaining 9% of variance in total. Psychological help in decreasing of anomia can be important for improvement of subjective well-being.
