The focus of this volume is on the further development of the
Quality of Life Theory and the means to measure the concept. The
volume summarizes Michalos' fundamental assumptions about the
nature of quality of life or human well-being and explains in
detail the two variable theory of the quality of life. It gives an
update of the journal Social Indicators Research after forty years,
an explanation of the role of community indicators in connecting
communities, and a critical review of the much publicized Stiglitz,
Sen and Fitoussi report. It deals with the multiple discrepancies
theory (MDT), the empirical theory designed to provide the
foundation of the pragmatic theory of value. Other concepts
discussed in this volume are the stability, sensitivity, and other
different features of measures of domain and life satisfaction and
happiness, measures of arts-related activities and beliefs,
measures of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour concerning
sustainable development, and the role of quality of life in
sustainable development research. The volume concludes with
discussions on connections between social indicators and
communities, aspects of community quality of life in Prince George,
British Columbia and Jasper, Alberta, and British Columbians'
expectations and attitudes going into the third millennium.
