Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we provide an overview of approaches to social capital and subjective well-being and outline the organization of the book. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of social capital, we propose a broad interpretation of social capital which, along with trust and networks, incorporate pro-civic orientations. We analyze the impact of social capital on well-being and recent findings from cross-cultural studies.
