Abstract: e present study investigated the relationship between Subjective Wellbeing (Satisfaction with life (SWL), Personal WellbeingIndex (PWI), Positive Aect (PA) and Negative Aect (NA)), Psychological needs (Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness),Meaning in Life, and Religious Practice. It examined the distributions of these constructs in a large sample of 3,173 subjects(1,638 males and 1,535 females) who participated in the 4th Algerian Wellbeing Survey. It aimed also to weigh up to whatextent they were aected by household income. Finally, it estimated the mediating eect of demographic variables (gender, age,education and location) in the contribution of the studied constructs in each other.e results indicated that these constructs were signicantly inter-correlated and almost similarly distributed in this population.ey also showed that they were all negatively aected by low incomes and proved that generally and beyond demographic factors,SWB measures predict better needs satisfaction, meaning in life and religiosity than the opposite direction. e results werediscussed on the light of previous international wellbeing research.
