The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the interplay between variables pertaining to the satisfaction
of life and economic sentiments of citizens of selected European countries. The analysis
of  the  connections will be conducted based on  existing subjective primary data. The  data
in  question  are results of  international comparative surveys (European Social Survey, ESS;
the  OECD's Better Life Initiative) and results of  consumer economic sentiment surveys ordered
by the  European Commission. The  research procedure also benefitted from the  selected items
of literature available in the form of books and articles.
Population economic sentiments are subject to cyclical changes connected with the  changes
in economic situation in individual countries. The analysis of secondary data allows for the conclusion
that there is a  statistically significant direct or indirect strong relationship between
assessments of life satisfaction and consumer confidence indicator. The grouping of the researched
countries based on  secondary data has made it possible to capture the  similarities between
individual states.
