• Validating a brief measure of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (2013, result): “Also, we added informant reports because they provide strong consensus and self–other agreement in support of our validation and are in line with the call for more use of informant reports (Schneider and Schimmack, 2009).”
• Does Migration Make You Happy? A Longitudinal Study of Internal Migration and Subjective Well-Being (2011, background): “Some may argue that the validity of this measure is moderate, but more valid measures of well-being have not been created yet (Schneider and Schimmack, 2009).”
• Theory and Validity of Life Satisfaction Scales (2013, background): “Schneider and Schimmack (2009) meta-analyzed forty-four studies and found a mean correlation of .42 between self-reports and informant reports of life satisfaction, which was higher than the comparable figure for moods and emotions.”
• How does happiness relate to economic behaviour? A review of the literature (2017, methodology): “…of the use of SWB: self-reported happiness correlates with appiness as judged by observers ( Diener, 1984; Pavot et al., 1991; andvik et al., 1993; Schneider and Schimmack, 2009 ); it also corelates with such objective variables as brain activity ( Urry et al., 004 ), heart rate ( Shedler et al.,…”
• Advances and Open Questions in the Science of Subjective Well-Being (2018, unknown): “For example, Schneider and Schimmack (2009) conducted a meta-analysis of the correlation between self and informant reports, and they found that there is reasonable agreement (r = .42) between these two methods of assessing SWB. Physiological measures, including brain activity (Davidson, 2004) and…”
