Self-efficacy, social support and well-being The mediating role of optimism (2006, background): “Previous and recent studies (e.g., Chang & Sanna, 2001; Diener, Oishi, & Lucas, 2003; Eid & Diener, 2004; Makikangas & Kinnunen, 2003) have found that optimism significantly predicts several aspects of subjective well-being.”
The Prospective Effect of Life Satisfaction on Life Events (2013, background): “…Author: Maike Luhmann, Department of Psychology, University of Chicago, 940 E. 57th Street, Biopsychological Sciences Building, Chicago, IL 60637, USA Email: luhmann@uchicago.edu & Smith, 1999) that is moderately stable over time (Eid & Diener, 2004; Fujita & Diener, 2005; Lucas & Donnellan, 2007).”
Perceived Stress and Life Satisfaction in College Students: Belonging and Extracurricular Participation as Moderators (2015, background): “As a more stable one than affective components, life satisfaction enables to carry out long-term evaluations regardless of a certain time length (Eid & Diener, 2004).”
Income and Quality of Life: Does the Love of Money Make a Difference? (2007, background): “Most measures of SWB correlate moderately with each other and have adequate reliability and internal consistency (Eid and Diener, 2004).”
Leadership behaviour and leader self-reported well-being: A review, integration and meta-analytic examination (2020, background): “For short-term and longterm well-being, we differentiated between constructs that were considered to be more consistent over time (e.g. satisfaction; Eid & Diener, 2004) and those that were more momentary.”
Personality and Subjective Well-Being (2009, background): “Furthermore, contextual factors such as current mood have only a very small influence on well-being judgments that theoretically should be stable ( Eid & Diener, 2004 ).”
Stability and variability in the relationship between subjective well-being and income (2011, background): “For instance, Eid and Diener (2004) showed that the correlations between the stable components of life satisfaction and mood were much higher than the correlations between the occasion-specific components of these constructs, suggesting that the effect of mood on judgments of life satisfaction…”
University Students’ Subjective Well-being: The Role of Autonomy Support from Parents, Friends, and the Romantic Partner (2012, neutral): “While SWB has been conceptualized as a transient as well as an enduring trait, studies on SWB, happiness, or quality of life have mainly focused on traits rather than on short-term fluctuations (Eid and Diener 2004).”
Belief and feeling: evidence for an accessibility model of emotional self-report. (2002, background): “Thus, trait happiness is conservative, exhibiting only small fluctuations from situation to situation (Eid & Diener, 1998).”
Stability and Change of Well Being: An Experimentally Enhanced Latent State-Trait-Error Analysis (2009, background): “Multiple item-scales reduce measurement error and show retest correlations above .8 over retest intervals of 1 month (Andrews and Withey 1976; Eid and Diener 2004; Headey et al. 1991; Pavot and Diener 1993; Saris et al. 1998; Schimmack and Oishi 2005; Veenhoven 1994).”
Life satisfaction set point: stability and change. (2005, background): “For example, Eid and Diener (2004) found substantial stability in LS over a period of 4 weeks, with 74% of the reliable variance being due to stable individual differences, 16% of the variance due to occasionspecific influences, and the remaining variance due to random error.”
Theory and Validity of Life Satisfaction Scales (2013, methodology): “Using a latent-state, latent-trait analysis of repeated measures of mood and life satisfaction over time, Eid and Diener (2004) estimated that 74 % of the variance in life satisfaction is due to chronically accessible information, 16 % to temporarily accessible information, and 10 % to random error.”
Whistle While You Work (2012, background): “For example, SWLS shows more stability than Erdogan et al. / Life Satisfaction Literature 1069 one’s mood (Eid & Diener, 2004).”
