The four areas of wellbeing included in the report are:

Loneliness – the frequency with which people report feeling lonely
Self-Efficacy – a person’s belief about their capabilities to exercise influence over events that affect their lives
Personal wellbeing – how satisfied people are with their lives, their levels of happiness and anxiety, and whether or not they think the things that they do are worthwhile
Locus of Control – the degree to which a person feels in control of their life
