Abstract
For the four domains examined in this volume, namely, paid employment, finances, housing and transportation, females reported higher levels of satisfaction than males. Thus, if one thinks of these four domains as collectively defining material goods, it is fair to say that undergraduate females reported higher levels of material goods satisfaction than males. Recalling that in Volume Two it was shown that females also reported higher levels of satisfaction with the interpersonal relations of family, friends and living partners, the higher levels of reported female happiness and satisfaction with life as a whole in Volume One begin to look very reasonable indeed. So far, the only domain in which males reported higher levels of satisfaction than females is that of self/esteem.
