Abstract: The debate on the need to consider the relative importance of various life domains (such as health and finances) in linking domain-specific satisfaction to subjective well-being (SWB), often known as domain importance weighting, has been ongoing. One major issue facing researchers who study domain importance weighting in the context of SWB is that there is no consensus on the weighting function of domain importance. Without clear a priori knowledge of the weighting function of domain importance, assessing the appropriateness of domain importance weighting in the SWB literature has been limited. This article investigates domain importance weighting in the context of SWB without assuming any specific weighting function of domain importance.
