Making the Best of a Bad Situation: Satisfaction in the Slums of Calcutta (2001, background): “Higher income is associated with many positive outcomes ranging from increased longevity (Wilkenson, 1996) to better health (Salovey, Rothman, Detweiler, & Steward, 2000) to greater overall life satisfaction ( Diener & Oishi, 2000 ).”
Reported Subjective Well-Being: A Challenge for Economic Theory and Economic Policy (2003, result): “Refined analyses, however, confirm the basic finding that people with a higher income than others in their society do report higher levels of happiness (see e.g. Di Tella et al. 2001 and for reviews e.g. Ahuvia and Friedman 1998, Diener and Oishi 2000).”
Natural capital, subjective well-being, and the new welfare economics of sustainability: Some evidence from cross-country regressions (2009, background): “A number of studies have included income inequality (usually proxied by the Gini coefficient) in subjective well-being equations and, somewhat surprisingly, found either no or a positive correlation (Diener and Oishi, 2000; Schyns, 2002; Kroll, 2008).”
The social context of well-being. (2004, background): “…levels of economic development, income does indeed predict subjective well-being, at somewhat higher levels (say, above the median for OECD countries) material well-being appears to have a quite modest effect (Diener & Oishi 2000; Diener & Biswas-Diener 2002; Frey & Stutzer 2002; Easterlin 2003).”
Recent Advances in the Economics of Individual Subjective Well-Being (2010, background): “Others document that there are Western countries like Denmark, Germany and Italy that experienced substantial real per capita income growth as well as a (small) increase in reported satisfaction with life in the 1970s and 80s (Diener and Oishi 2000).”
Effect of Changes in Living Conditions on Well-Being: A Prospective Top–Down Bottom–Up Model (2011, background): “However, subjective measures of well-being such as self-reported levels of life-satisfaction have remained constant or increased only slightly over the past decades (Diener and Oishi 2000; Hagerty and Veenhoven 2003; Oswald 1997).”
The Promise of Sustainable Happiness (2009, background): “Indeed, people in a wide array of cultures report the pursuit of happiness as one of their most meaningful, desirable, and significant life goals (Diener & Oishi, 2000; Diener, Suh, Smith, & Shao, 1995; Triandis, Bontempo, Leung, & Hui, 1990).”
The student well-being model: a conceptual framework for the development of student well-being indicators (2014, background): “…how countries rank in terms of life satisfaction or happiness reveal that, in general, more money leads to higher life satisfaction ratings, and that this relationship reaches a point of diminishing returns (Biswas-Diener, 2008; Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002; Diener & Oishi, 2000; Easterlin, 1974).”
Adolescent-parent disagreements and life satisfaction in families from Vietnamese- and European-American backgrounds (2002, background): “Much of the research on cultural factors in subjective wellbeing has been carried out at the societal level, examining factors such as per capita income, education, and environmental quality (Diener & Oishi, 2000).”
Can the Large Swings in Russian Life Satisfaction be Explained by Ups and Downs in Real Incomes (2006, unknown): “With regard to the role of income, a widely accepted viewpoint is that absolute income does matter, but not very much (e.g. Easterlin, 1995; Oswald, 1997; Diener and Oishi, 2000; Frey and Stutzer, 2002).”
Is It Possible to Become Happier? (And If So, How?) (2007, background): “Another intriguing fact is that as countries become wealthier over time, their citizens’ happiness does not increase ( Diener & Oishi, 2000; Lane, 2000).”
