• Linking Peoples’ Pursuit of Eudaimonia and Hedonia with Characteristics of their Parents: Parenting Styles, Verbally Endorsed Values, and Role Modeling (2012, background): “One or both pursuits have been correlated with greater psychological well-being, lower mental illness, and greater physical health (Bauer and McAdams 2010; Chan 2009; Friedman et al. 2007; Huta and Ryan 2010; Joshanloo and Ghaedi 2009; Kafka and Kozma 2002; Keyes and Annas 2009; Keyes et al. 2002;”
• Purpose in Life, Satisfaction with Life, and Suicide Ideation in a Clinical Sample (2004, background): “Research findings have documented positive relations between meaning or purpose in life and adaptive psychological factors, such as life satisfaction and psychological well-being ( Kafka & Kozma, 2002; Zika & Chamberlain, 1992) and perceived social support (Ulmer et al., 1991); and negative relatio”
• Life Satisfaction is not a Balanced Estimator of the Good Life: Evidence from Reaction Time Measures and Self-Reported Emotions (2009, background): “Similarly, McGregor and Little (1998), Kafka and Kozma (2002) and Selnes et al. (2004) have reported that life satisfaction and personal growth load on different factors.”
• Doing Well: The Relationship of Identity Status to Three Conceptions of Well-Being (2007, background): “Prior research relating subjective well-being to psychological well-being indicates that while they are positively associated, they remain largely independent constructs ( Kafka & Komza, 2002 ; Keyes, Shmotkin, & Ryff, 2002 ).”
• Psychological Resilience to Suicide Ideation Among Older Adults (2008, background): “Ryff's six-factor model of PWB is well grounded in theory, and long- and short-forms of her multidimensional PWB measure have demonstrated strong psychometric properties ( Kafka & Kozma, 2002 ; Ryff & Keyes, 1995 ).”
• The construct validity of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being and its extension with spiritual well-being (2004, methodology): “Although earlier studies confirmed the proposed structure (e.g. Ryff, 1989a; Ryff & Keyes, 1995), a recent study by Kafka and Kozma (2002) showed that the factorial validity is not unambiguous.”
• Revisiting the Empirical Distinction Between Hedonic and Eudaimonic Aspects of Well-Being Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (2016, methodology): “In exploratory factor analyses conducted by Compton (1998) and Kafka and Kozma (2002), the factor loadings of these two aspects on hedonic well-being were stronger than their factor loadings on psychological well-being.”
• Happiness Revisited: Ontological Well-Being as a Theory-Based Construct of Subjective Well-Being (2009, background): “The source of the life satisfaction component of SWB is studies concerning successful ageing ( Kafka and Kozma 2001; Ryff 1989).”
• Bad news indeed for Ryff’s six-factor model of well-being (2006, background): “Kafka and Kozma (2002) , for example, conclude their paper saying ‘‘it would appear that the structure of [RPWB] is limited to face validity.”
