This was conducted to check established propositions related with cross cultural populations. Two almost identical groups of participants consisting of 61 subjects including 50 males and 11 females were tested.

Subjective well-being (SWB) by (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985) and Subjective Happiness Scale by (Lyubornisky, Dickerhoof, Boehm and Sheldon, 2011) was administered to test the propositions. SPSS regression model was implied, happiness found to be explainable by wellbeing F(1,59) = 7.86, p < .005, R2 = 0.118 moreover, wellbeing significantly predicted happiness, B = -0.333, t(59) = -2.804, p = .007., based on the sample, a one-unit increase in wellbeing found leading to a 0.333 unit decrease in happiness.
