Location: FSE007 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
RC55 Social Indicators (host committee) Language: English
Social indicators and quality of life research have become well-established fields of social science. Nevertheless, with the development of new technologies and ever-changing social, political, and environmental conditions, new opportunities and challenges to monitoring individual and collective well-being have emerged. These challenges and opportunities include conceptualizations of well-being, methods of data collection, data processing, analysis, and reporting. This session invites studies that discuss these issues, considering but not limited to, the following topics.
- Applications of computational social sciences to measure well-being
- AI tools for measuring well-being
- Weighting and aggregation of well-being dimensions
- New conceptualizations of well-being
- Assessing subjective well-being through social media data
- Innovations in data collection and analysis for well-being research.
Both theoretical and empirical papers, as well as those with a methodological focus or practical applications, are welcome. We encourage submissions that offer new insights or innovative approaches to the measurement and understanding of well-being in contemporary society.
