The Relationship Between Social Support and Subjective Well-Being Across Age (2014, background): “This may be because individuals who are more extraverted generally have more friends (e.g., Demir and Weitekamp 2007; Hills and Argyle 2001; Pollet et al. 2011) and thus additional opportunities to provide support.”
Spirituality, Religiousness, and Happiness in Children Aged 8–12 Years (2010, background): “Research with adults consistently reports that extraversion is strongly positively correlated with happiness and neuroticism is strongly negatively correlated with happiness (Furnham and Brewin 1990; Furnham and Cheng 2000b; Hills and Argyle 2001b; Pavot et al. 1990).”
The Contribution of Social Relationships to Children’s Happiness (2009, background): “…findings that social relationships contribute to well-being, extraversion, which is associated with friendships and social activity, is reliably and strongly correlated with happiness (Cheng and Furnham 2001, 2002, 2003; Hayes and Joseph 2003; Hills and Argyle 2001; Neto 2001; Pavot et al. 1990).”
Comparing Multiple Discrepancies Theory to Affective Models of Subjective Wellbeing (2011, background): “These variables have been proposed by a number of researchers to influence SWB (Cha 2003; Cummins et al. 2002; Diener and Lucas 1999; Hills and Argyle 2001; Lucas et al. 1996; Vitterso 2001; see Table 6).”
The Relationship Between Religion and Happiness Among German Students (2003, background): “... received (Lu & Argyle, 1992), coping styles (Rim, 1993), locus of control (Noor, 1993), engagement in a serious leisure activity (Lu & Argyle, 1994), intensity of musical experience (Hills & Argyle, 1998a), participation in sports (Hills & Argyle, 1998b), self actualisation, self esteem, likelih”
Subjective Wellbeing as an Affective-Cognitive Construct (2007, background): “One of these ( Hills and Argyle 2001 ) examined the correlations between happiness and other dimensions of positive experience as self-esteem, purpose in life, and optimism.”
Doing the right thing: Measuring wellbeing for public policy (2011, background): “Introverts, for instance, are much less likely than extraverts to experience positive emotion (Hills & Argyle, 2001).”
Temperament and Happiness in Children (2010, background): “In particular, happiness is positively correlated with extraversion but negatively correlated with neuroticism (Costa and McCrae 1980; Furnham and Brewin 1990; Furnham and Cheng 2000; Hills and Argyle 2001; Pavot et al. 1990).”
Big 5 correlates of three measures of subjective well-being (2003, unknown): “Much subsequent research has since confirmed these associations (see e.g. Brebner, Donaldson, Kirby, & Ward, 1995; Chan & Joseph, 2000; Furnham & Brewin, 1990; Hills & Argyle, 2001a,b; Lu & Shih, 1997).”
Personality Traits, Emotional Intelligence, and Multiple Happiness (2007, result): “This, too, is in line with previous findings, although Hills and Argyle (2001) found a slightly stronger negative correlation (r = -.27). and Petrides (2003), trait EI (or “emotional self-efficacy”) would be a strong positive predictor of happiness.”
