Self- and peer-rated character strengths: How do they relate to satisfaction with life and orientations to happiness? (2013, methodology): “When Park, Peterson, and Seligman (2004b) correlated rank-ordered strengths and satisfaction with life, the highest correlating strengths (i.e. hope) yielded coefficients of an absolute size between 0.31 and 0.45; i.e. they were approximately 15% lower on average.”
