According to this view, objective factors influence and indicate well-being but are not themselves forms of well-being.

Some studies focus on either subjective or objective well-being. Others combine both perspectives to provide a more comprehensive picture and counterbalance their shortcomings. Although subjective and objective well-being often align, this is not necessarily the case. For example, a person scoring low on objective measures, such as low income and frail health, may nonetheless be subjectively happy.
