Citations in the corpus

• Engaging with Natural Beauty May Be Related to Well-Being Because It Connects People to Nature: Evidence from Three Cultures (2017, unknown): “Russian words such as privolje (i.e., sense of freedom in vast, open spaces; Likhachev, 2013) and listopad (i.e., sight of falling leaves; Lomas, 2016b), however, suggest that the desire for a connection with nature and the noticing of beauty in nature might be more common to the Russian experience…”
• Third wave positive psychology: broadening towards complexity (2020, background): “One example of this approach is an initiative by Lomas (2016; 2020) to create an evolving lexicography of 'untranslatable' words (i.e., without exact equivalent in English) relating to wellbeing.”
