The variance analysis of \"satisfaction with life\" parameters (Table 4) showed only one interaction (region x time) effect (\(\mathrm{n_{P}}^{2}\) = 0.12) for the item \"I am satisfied with my life\". The time effects were consistently large and differed from \(\mathrm{n_{p}}^{2}\) = 0.81 (In most ways my life is close to my ideal) to \(\mathrm{n_{P}}^{2}\) = 0.97 (total score). Region effects at examination 1 were only observed for the total score (\(\mathrm{n_{p}}^{2}\) = 0.10) and the item \"If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.\" (\(\mathrm{n_{P}}^{2}\) = 0.10). Very large effect sizes were calculated for all satisfaction with life items (Table 4). The effect sizes d for the scores (Q1 to Q5) ranged from d = 2.97 (Q3/MENA) to d = 7.19 (Q2/MENA) as a sign of a strongly reduction of quality of life.
