Method: 229 Spanish Gypsies completed a survey of demographic data, psychological well- being, life satisfaction, ethnic identity and the individual’s inclusion of self within the ingroup. Results: (a) only level of studies is related to satisfaction with life; (b) participants with higher scores in ethnic identity reported more well-being and more life satisfaction; and (c) assessment of ethnic belonging affects more areas of well-being than does perception of closeness to the ingroup. Conclusion: objective conditions of deprivation are not related to well-being as reported by the participants; it is important to study how Spanish Gypsies value and perceive their ethnicity in order to predict their well-being and satisfaction with life. 2024-01-16T10:26:37Z 2024-01-16T10:26:37Z 2019-07-01 journal article Published version: Gomez Berrocal, M.
