%X Using data from a random representative survey of South Florida immigrants (n=1,268), our research examines different facets of transnationalism and how they relate to a typically overlooked component of immigrant incorporation¨Csubjective well-being. We examine separately the affective and evaluative components of immigrants¡¯ well-being in their country of reception¡ªthe United States¡ªby differentiating between self-reported emotional well-being and self-reported satisfaction with life in the U.S. Findings support that the kinds and frequency of connections that immigrants maintain with the home country are important factors for understanding immigrants¡¯ subjective well-being.
