Communication

Summary: The goals of education differ, so their psychological, economic, political and cultural effects should not be compared. The contribution of education to the quality of life, which is conceptualised as the level of satisfaction vith various life domains and with life as a whole, can serve as a common indicator of the effectiveness of education in influencing the personality and in improving the acces to various objective sources of satisfaction. In order to test this hipothesis, the connection between the level of education and some important psychological factors of quality of life is established. They are the following: the level of aspirations on achievement in various life domains (value system), perception of achievement of different values, satisfaction with achievements in different life domains and in general satisfaction. This connection depends on the following factors: sex, age, family status, work status, intelligence and some fundamental personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion introversion and psychoticism). The causal comparative research design was used. Data were collected on a sample of 537 respondents. Group differences were tested by means of analysis of variance and multiple regression. Significant connections between education and cognitive and affective evaluation in several life domains were found.

Keywords: Education, quality of life, developmen.

Research goals: The main goal of this research is to determine whether thesubjective measure of quality of life (life satisfaction) is asuitable criterion of quality of life. New knowledge about relations between education and qualityof life, depending on sex, age, family status, work status,intelligence and fundamental personality traits, are expected.
