Uziel / Journal of Research in Personality 41 (2007) 579–601 low and high self-esteem individuals, researchers have suggested that a bi-dimensional model, differentiating between positive and negative self-esteem, would better fit the existing data (e.g., Cheng & Furnham, 2003; Owens, 1993).”
Temperament and Happiness in Children (2010, background): “Studies of happiness suggest that demographic variables are only weakly correlated with adults’ happiness and do not account for large proportions of the variance in adults’ happiness (Amato 1994; Cheng and Furnham 2003; Ellison 1991; Lu and Lin 1998; Pinquart and Sorensen 2001).”
