A survey was conducted between 100 Tamilian and Keralite men and women using the scales for need satisfaction, causality orientation and SWB. Results show that although there were no significant differences in the actual levels of all three variables, the correlation between needs, causality orientations and SWB differed for both groups. Gender differences were also noticed. A regression equation was computed to understand how well the needs and the orientations were predictive of SWB. The differences in the two groups can be explained by the differences in culture.
