Does social connection turn good deeds into good feelings?: On the value of putting the ‘social’ in prosocial spending (2013, methodology): “, 2012) and helpful for assessing the full conceptualization of subjective well-being (Biswas-Diener et al., 2009; Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002; Kashdan et al., 2008), which cannot be captured in one single scale (Diener, 1984).”
Life satisfaction, ethical reflection, and the science of happiness (2007, background): “40 For reviews of the literature on money and subjective well-being, see Diener and Biswas-Diener (2002), Diener and Seligman (2004), Argyle (1999, 2002), Myers (2000), Csikszentmihalyi (1999), and Frey and Stutzer (2002).”
Personality, culture, and subjective well-being: emotional and cognitive evaluations of life. (2003, background): “Diener & Biswas-Diener (2002) reviewed a number of studies that report correlations in the neighborhood of .60 to .70 between the wealth of nations and their mean levels of SWB.”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, neutral): “The indirect couplings are usually taken from the corresponding isotropic spectra of the solute or from the literature, and kept fixed.”
Lay Understanding of Happiness and the Experience of Well-Being: Are Some Conceptions of Happiness More Beneficial than Others? (2016, background): “There is no clear relationship between individual income, income in societies (Diener and Biswas-Diener 2002) and subjective well-being, but findings from a few studies indicate that valuing material things and financial success is negatively correlated with well-being (Kasser and Ryan 1993).”
The social context of well-being. (2004, background): “…levels of economic development, income does indeed predict subjective well-being, at somewhat higher levels (say, above the median for OECD countries) material well-being appears to have a quite modest effect (Diener & Oishi 2000; Diener & Biswas-Diener 2002; Frey & Stutzer 2002; Easterlin 2003).”
Estimating worldwide life satisfaction (2008, background): “…most leave unan- swered the question of whether it is income per se that drives life satisfaction, or any of a broad range of its correlates: health, education, individualistic ideology, political freedom and rights, and so on (see Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002, for a discussion of this issue).”
Shareholder Wealth Maximization and Social Welfare: A Utilitarian Critique (2013, background): “…that the relationship between national wealth and national well-being is asymptotic; as a country moves up the prosperity ladder, additional increases in national wealth tend to buy less and less national happiness (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002; Frey & Stutzer, 2002; Helliwell, 2003; Schyns, 2003).”
When what one has is enough: Mindfulness, financial desire discrepancy, and subjective well-being (2009, background): “The prominence of desire related discrepancies in the prediction of SWB is also consistent with evalua- ll rights reserved. tion theory (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002; Diener & Lucas, 2000), which argues that desires and goals are chronically salient standards that are particularly likely to…”
Measuring (2019, background): “Broadly speaking, some of the research findings have included significant correlations between subjective wellbeing (usually measured in terms of life satisfaction) and absolute income (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002 - although diminishing returns point to a threshold at which this effect dissipates”
