DENEGRI C, Marianela; GARCIA J., Constanza  y  GONZALEZ R, Nicolle. Definition of subjective well-being in professional young adults from Chile. A study of natural semantic networks. CES Psicol [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.1, pp.77-97. ISSN 2011-3080.

This research aims to describe the experience of subjective well-being in a sample of adult professional people from Santiago-Chile, employing the natural semantic network method. The results indicate that family, friends and love are linked to happiness and satisfaction concepts in relation to the life, as well as the valuation of what allows being happy. Conceptions about work, personal goals, and entertainment are referred as aspects that contribute to happiness and life satisfaction. In regard to gender differences, although these are not decisive, it is observed that men seem to be more focused on goal achievement, and women to enjoyment and leisure activities.

Palabras clave : Happiness; Life Satisfaction; Natural Semantic Networks; Subjective Well-Being; Young Adults.
