Subjective well-being is a notion that expresses personal attitude of a man towards his personality, life and processes that are important from the point of view of acquired normative ideas about external and internal environment that are characterized by the feeling of satisfaction. The well-being is created by satisfying interpersonal attitudes, the possibility to communicate and to get positive emotionsand satisfaction from it. The well-being can be ruined by social isolation (deprivation), tension in important interpersonal relations.

Subjective well-being should be interpreted as a generalized and relatively stable experience that is particularly important for a personality. It is the main component part of the dominant psychical state. That’s why, the concept of the subjective wellbeing has been singled out among other concepts with similar meaning and we have chosen it as essential in this article.

During the psychological investigation of subjective well-being in the center there should be all concerned characteristics of emotional sphere of a personality. Both subjective well-being and humour are compound psychical phenomena, that, on one hand, have many manifestations in the psyche, and on the other hand, they can be influenced by many factors.
