• Optimism and Subjective Well-Being: Affectivity Plays a Secondary Role in the Relationship Between Optimism and Global Life Satisfaction in the Middle-Aged Women. Longitudinal and Cross-Cultural Findings (2012, background): “The finding of the strong direct effect provide further support to the notion that optimists, regardless that they tend to experience more positive emotions and less negative emotions, are likely to have a kind of pre-stored evaluation of their life on which they might rely when judging their global”
• The Subjective Wellbeing of High-School Students: Validating the Personal Wellbeing Index—School Children (2011, background): “Rather, SWB is held around a ‘set-point’ and is remarkably stable across time (Cummins 1995; Headey and Wearing 1989, 1992; Eid and Diener 2004; Schimmack et al. 2002 ).”
• Personality and Subjective Well-Being (2009, background): “In addition, Schimmack and Oishi, along with Schimmack, Diener, and Oishi (2002) , showed that people tend to use chronically accessible information rather than transient sources of information when constructing well-being judgments.”
• Culture and Subjective Well-Being (2013, background): “Although the structure of emotions is somewhat consistent across cultures, and the items of the SWLS also seem to cohere reliably, the relation between emotions and LS may vary across cultures ( Schimmack, Radhakrishnan, Oishi, Dzokoto & Ahadi, 2002; Suh, Diener, Oishi, & Triandis, 1998).”
• Effect of Changes in Living Conditions on Well-Being: A Prospective Top–Down Bottom–Up Model (2011, background): “However, life-satisfaction judgments are also influenced by cognitive evaluations of important life domains (Brief et al. 1993; Schimmack et al. 2002a; Schneider and Schimmack, in press).”
• Private traits and attributes are predictable from digital records of human behavior (2013, background): “17) may be attributable to the difficulty of separating long-term happiness (29) from mood swings, which vary over time.”
• The Influence of Environment and Personality on the Affective and Cognitive Component of Subjective Well-being (2008, background): “Furthermore, personality traits are no longer related to CWB when AWB is included as a predictor ( Schimmack et al. 2002a, b). Sometimes, additional effects are observed, but they tend to be small.”
