Description
Summary:Those who emigrate tend to be more educated and less satisfied with their situation in their country of origin, and their decision to emigrate seems complex and of important consequences. However, their decisional styles, their regret, and how this is associated with their well-being and health, are unknown. This is analyzed here in 261 adult South American international migrants, mostly Venezuelans, of both sexes, residing in Talca (Chile), chosen by availability, who answered instruments to measure decisional styles, regret, well-being, and health. A strong tendency to maximization, high regret, high well-being and a very favorable health self-evaluation are observed. There are also significant, positive associations of maximization with regret (.374, p=.01), with well-being (.161, p=.009) and with three domains of health-related quality of life (.174, p=.005; .169, p=.006; .212, p=.001). The results are discussed, and new studies are suggested.
