Abstract: Maltese people are more satisfied with their lives but paradoxically report an increase in negative emotions, according to the Wellbeing-INDEX issued on Tuesday.

Satisfaction levels are higher than ever, with personal relationships as the strongest source. Those respondents who regularly met family and friends reported higher overall wellbeing.2026-03-01T00:00:00Z"Distakk bejn sodisfazzjon bil-ħajja u kif in-nies iħossuhom ta’ kuljum" : rapporthttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1455682026-04-14T12:00:53Z2026-03-01T00:00:00ZTitle: "Distakk bejn sodisfazzjon bil-ħajja u kif in-nies iħossuhom ta’ kuljum" : rapport
