• Temperament and Happiness in Children (2010, background): “Furthermore, this test has been challenged in terms of not being based on theory and definition, and measuring several factors related to well-being in addition to happiness ( Kashdan 2004 ).”
• Gender Differences in Happiness and Life Satisfaction Among Adolescents in Hong Kong: Relationships and Self-Concept (2016, methodology): “, among other things, its lack of conceptual clarity and structure (Cummins 2013; Kashdan 2004).”
• Spirituality, Religiousness, and Happiness in Children Aged 8–12 Years (2010, background): “Both questionnaires are designed, in part, to assess meaning and purpose in one’s life which may have artificially inflated the observed relation between spirituality and happiness (see Kashdan 2004 ).”
• The relationship between religious orientation and happiness: the mediating role of purpose in life (2014, background): “Kashdan (2004) claims that there may be conceptual overlap between the OHQ and other distinct constructs such as self-esteem, sense of purpose, and extroversion.”
• The Dark Triad, happiness and subjective well-being (2014, background): “Antagonistic interpersonal behaviour is also predicted by personality; persons high in narcissism and Machiavellianism are more likely to disrupt the wellbeing of colleagues (Campbell, Hoffman, Campbell, & Marchisio, 2011; Kessler et al., 2010); and narcissistic aggression is underpinned by low A an”
• Destination Fascination and Destination Loyalty: Subjective Well-Being and Destination Attachment as Mediators (2020, background): “Subjective well-being is a person’s subjective, positive evaluation toward their overall life, including work life and leisure life (Carter 2004; Diener and Lucas 2004; Kashdan 2004).”
• The Relationship Between Time Perspective and Subjective Well-being of Older Adults (2012, background): “Kashdan (2004) defines a high level of SWB as the combination of three factors: frequent and intense positive affects, relative absence of depression and overall satisfaction with life.”
• Reconsidering happiness: the costs of distinguishing between hedonics and eudaimonia (2008, unknown): “If ‘positive relations with others’ is part of the definition of happiness (Ryff & Singer, 1998 ) then the study of whether and how relationships and interpersonal processes affect happiness becomes a potentially messy examination of conceptually overlapping predictor and outcome variables (Kashdan”
• Trait Meta-Mood and Subjective Happiness: A 7-week Prospective Study (2011, unknown): “Since SHS are less time-intensive, theory-driven, and with good psychometric properties, we have chosen it instead of other more large scales and with conceptual issues such as Oxford Happiness Scale (see Kashdan 2004).”
• The Meaning in Life Questionnaire: Assessing the Presence of and Search for Meaning in Life (2006, background): “Without the ability to measure distinct constructs, our ability to explore their theoretical and causal spaces is severely hampered (see Kashdan, 2004, for a similar discussion regarding subjective well-being measurement).”

• New approaches in transportation planning: happiness and transport economics (2010, background): “One consequence of this ‘positive psychology’ focus has been the proliferation of new measures based on clear definitions, strong theoretical frameworks and rigorous methodology [14].”
• Curiosity and Exploration: Facilitating Positive Subjective Experiences and Personal Growth Opportunities (2004, background): “Curiosity has relevance to nearly all facets of human functioning and opportunities for future research extend beyond psychology to areas such as business, education, politics, and journalism (Kashdan, 2004b; Kashdan & Fincham, in press).”
