In this paper, we analyze what factors affect the subjective well-being of the individual on the basis of the sixth wave of studies of regional values "World Value Survey" for 2011-2012 for such regions of Russia as St. Petersburg, Leningrad region and the Republic of Bashkortostan. Using the linear regression method, we show that material values are important determinants of the individual's subjective well-being for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. In turn, for Bashkiria the main factors that affect happiness are spiritual values.
