Abstract

In this paper, we consider the impact of self-worth on health and happiness in the Middle Eastern Context. We use the World Values Survey Wave 6 to test relationships between a series of social psychological concepts such as self-efficacy and self-perception, along with considerations of place and neighborhoods, and their impact on a person’s health and well-being.
