Citations in the corpus
- Revisiting the Empirical Distinction Between Hedonic and Eudaimonic Aspects of Well-Being Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (2016, background): “These researchers emphasize positive functioning, worthwhile goals, and meaningful activities as key ingredients of mental well-being (Joshanloo 2014).”
- Second Wave Positive Psychology: Exploring the Positive–Negative Dialectics of Wellbeing (2016, background): “For example, it is suggested that Western and Eastern cultures construct wellbeing in markedly different ways (Joshanloo 2014); e.g., Western cultures tend to value high arousal positive states (such as excitement), whereas Eastern cultures valorise low arousal ones (such as calmness; Tsai 2007).”
- Clarifying the Concept of Well-Being: Psychological Need Satisfaction as the Common Core Connecting Eudaimonic and Subjective Well-Being (2019, background): “Although diverse cultures might have different ways of understanding well-being that need to be acknowledged (e.g., Delle Fave & Bassi, 2009; Joshanloo, 2014), in an increasingly globalized world shared yardsticks are needed and well-being might serve that role better than purely economic metrics.”
- Tourism and wellbeing (2017, background): “This is perhaps inevitable given the (still) essentially western-centric nature of tourism, but it is recognised that wellbeing could, for example, also be approached through the notions of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sufism as discussed by Joshanloo (2014).”
- Aversion to Happiness Across Cultures: A Review of Where and Why People are Averse to Happiness (2014, background): “4 partially responsible for attaining for ourselves (Joshanloo 2013a).”
- The effects of religion on consumer behavior: A conceptual framework and research agenda (2016, background): “Moral judgment and forgiveness is also determined by the extent to which one’s religion endorses the Good-Evil dualism (Joshanloo, 2014).”
- Towards a positive cross-cultural lexicography: Enriching our emotional landscape through 216 ‘untranslatable’ words pertaining to well-being (2016, background): “This emergent sensitivity is reflected in studies exploring variation in the way different cultures relate to well-being, including in how it is defined (Joshanloo, 2014), experienced (Uchida & Ogihara, 2012) and reported (Oishi, 2010).”
- How WEIRD are positive psychology interventions? A bibliometric analysis of randomized controlled trials on the science of well-being (2018, background): “While the concept of happiness across cultures has been studiedwidely (Diener & Suh, 2000; Joshanloo, 2014; Selin & Davey, 2012; Veenhoven, 2012) and there are several studies on cultural differences on expression of positive emotions (Leu, Wang, & Koo, 2011; Ong, Bergeman, Bisconti, & Wallace, 2006”
