Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries. 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aPositive psychology 606 $aEconomics 606 $aQuality of Life Research 606 $aPositive Psychology 606 $aEconomics 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aPositive psychology. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aPositive Psychology. 615 24$aEconomics. 676 $a306.03 702 $aMichalos$b Alex C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483489803321 996 $aEncyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research$92226052 997 $aUNINA
