• Happiness and Leisure Across Countries: Evidence from International Survey Data (2013, result): “Our results echo Stone et al. (2010) and Blanchflower and Oswald (2011), who suggest that well-being or happiness typically has a U-shaped age profile.”
• The Shifting Meaning of Happiness (2011, positive): “For instance, recent research found that although overall well-being seemed to increase after the age of 50, ‘‘happiness’’ showed a modest relationship with age (Stone et al., 2010).”
• International Happiness: A New View on the Measure of Performance (2011, background): “…(2008), Graham (2009), Daly and Wilson (2009), Devoe and Pfeffer (2009), Luechinger (2009), Daly et al. (2010), Judge, Ilies, and Dimotakis (2010), Pittau, Zelli, and Gelman (2010), Powdthavee (2010), Pfeffer (2010), Stone et al. (2010), Bell and Blanchflower (2010), and Oswald and Wu (in press).”
• Relationship between household income and mental disorders: findings from a population-based longitudinal study. (2011, positive): “In comparison with younger adults, older adults have a lower likelihood of mental illness(59) and greater likelihood of psychological well-being and satisfaction.(60) Thus, household income may not have as strong an influence on mental illness among older adults than it does in younger adults.”
• Strength and Vulnerability Integration (SAVI): A Model of Emotional Well-Being Across Adulthood (2010, neutral): “In another large study, some specific positive emotions (such as enjoyment and happiness) showed little agerelated change after age 70, although self-reported well-being increased with age (Stone et al., 2010).”
