Pro-environmental behavior correlates with present and future subjective well-being (2016, background): “As has been generally suggested in subjective well-being studies (Diener 2012; Seligman et al. 2013), there is a need to examine causal relationships, such as whether ‘present’ behavior at one point is a source of ‘future’ subjective well-being, which should be assessed in another future point to…”
