AB In the current study, we examined the relationship between perceived person happiness andfactors that infuence this perception, also, is inferred that life satisfaction is infuence byhappiness. Among 2494 Spaniards individuals of both sexes, we found that these individuals valued political situation, economic situation and socio-demographic characteristics tohave a strong association in that order, with happiness and that this last construct is a fundamental factor to life satisfaction. The importance of perception is validated using a structural equation model that evaluates relationships and validity on the constructs in question.Collinearity statistics, average variance extracted, and an estimated partial least squareregression model are evaluated to confrm independent meaning, correct construct measureand endogenous variable explanation by the predictive constructs. Results indicate that thelevel of happiness in Spaniards is most infuenced by political perception. Theoretical andpractical implications of these fndings are discussed, and it is proposed to continue thisstudy in a non-developed country.
