Ocena jakości życia wschodzącej klasy wyższej w Polsce

In the paper, two theoretical models are applied for the assessment of quality of life of emerging higher class in Poland. Life satisfaction, measured on the 5-point Likert scale, is applied as the proxy for quality of life. The first model assumes continuous measurement of Liker scale outcomes and makes use of the epsilon orthogonal regression. The second model respects ordinal measurements of Liker scale outcomes and exploits the ordinal logistic regression. The statistical data come from 2011-2012 survey conducted among 90 higher class respondents from Warsaw. Both models identify the following predictors of life satisfaction: marriage satisfaction, job satisfaction and respondents gender. This means that the type of measurement scale does not matter when assessing the life satisfaction of emerging higher class in Poland.
