Measuring and Understanding Subjective Well-Being (2010, background): “He even proposed (Kahneman 1999) referring to the summation of momentary assessments as objective happiness, “because it is constructed according to an objective rule, even though it is ultimately based on subjective reports..” (Kahneman & Riis 2005, p.291).”
Career Construction and Subjective Well-Being (2008, background): “Optimally, work may serve as a source of meaning, personal fulfillment, enrichment, happiness, and satisfaction—principal elements of subjective well-being (SWB; Diener, 1984; Kahneman & Riis, 2005; Myers & Diener, 1995).”
Advances and Open Questions in the Science of Subjective Well-Being (2018, unknown): “Kahneman and Riis (2005), in summarizing this distinction, noted that evaluations that occur as a person experiences the conditions of her or his life are different than the more reflective evaluations that that person makes when thinking back on the various features of one’s life as a whole (Some…”
Life Satisfaction is not a Balanced Estimator of the Good Life: Evidence from Reaction Time Measures and Self-Reported Emotions (2009, background): “Accordingly, a life should be considered better if more time is spent in good states and less time in bad states, and ‘‘this formulation holds whether the good state is defined by positive affect or by intense engagement in a task or in a spiritual pursuit ( Kahneman and Riis 2005 , p . 294).”
Well-being, job satisfaction and labour mobility (2010, background): “Moreover,measures of job satisfaction in surveys often have a more cognitive emphasis which may capture part of happiness as self-validation, or an evaluation by “the remembering self” (Kahneman and Riis, 2005) that is able to include a future perspective.”
Measuring Subjective Wellbeing: Recommendations on Measures for use by National Governments (2012, background): “Measuring SWB There have been many attempts to classify the different ways in which in SWB can be measured for policy purposes (Kahneman and Riis, 2005; Dolan et al., 2006, Waldron, 2010).”
Happiness and public choice (2010, background): “…assuming the pursuit of happiness, and also involves choosing the concrete evaluation metric to elicit people’s judgments.3 Thus, ambiguities remain when selecting the empirical concept in order to measure individual welfare (see Helliwell 2006; Kahneman and Riis 2005; Kahneman et al. 2004a).”
Well-Being, Social Capital and Public Policy: What's New? (2006, unknown): “To illustrate the worry, Kahneman and Riis (2005) note that the World Values Survey measures of life satisfaction in the US are higher than those in France by as much as the difference in life satisfaction between the employed and unemployed respondents in the US.”
Life Satisfaction and Quality of Development (2008, unknown): “He refers to it as ‘objective happiness’ ( Kahneman 1999 ) because it is constructed according to an objective rule, albeit one that aggregates subjective assessments.”
PoKi: A Large Dataset of Poems by Children (2020, background): “Kahneman and Riis (2005) propose that our experience of emotions is different from how we remember our emotions, so even if children were recounting past experiences in their poems, the affective content might differ from how the experience actually felt.”
Measuring subjective well-being for public policy (2011, background): “There have been many attempts to classify the different ways in which in SWB can be measured for policy purposes (Kahneman and Riis, 2005; Dolan et al, 2006, Waldron, 2010).”
Experience Sampling Methods: A Discussion of Critical Trends and Considerations for Scholarly Advancement (2018, background): “There is a great deal of evidence suggesting that such aggregations differ in important ways from reports of more immediate experiences (i.e., the “experiencing self” vs. the “remembering self”; Kahneman & Riis, 2005).”
Of Memes and Marriage: Toward a Positive Relationship Science (2010, background): “Finally, there are also helpful methodological advances in positive psychology such as the clear specification of the role of introspection and retrospection in assessing well-being (Kahneman & Riis, 2005) and use of dynamic factor analysis to affective processes in dyads (Ferrer, 2006).”
