The Relationship Between Personal Financial Wellness and Financial Wellbeing: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach (2013, methodology): “Cummins (1995, 2000, 2010) developed the homeostatic theory of subjective well-being, which proposed that subjective wellbeing is held under homeostatic control.”
Development and Validation of the Brief Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being in School Scale (BASWBSS) (2014, unknown): “Numerous studies have supported this two-component model of SWB (Cummins 2010; Davern et al. 2007; Diener et al. 1999).”
The Personal Wellbeing Index: Psychometric Equivalence for Adults and School Children (2013, methodology): “7% points; Cummins et al. 2010). Additionally, in terms of comparable predictive validity, Tomyn and Cummins (2011b) determined that SWB and the related construct of HPMood are similarly related in adults and children.”
The Subjective Wellbeing of High-School Students: Validating the Personal Wellbeing Index—School Children (2011, background): “However, as argued by Cummins (2010) , there is another possible reason for such marked changes, as people whose SWB is moving in and out of homeostatic defeat.”
Does Perceived Emotional Intelligence and Optimism/pessimism Predict Psychological Well-being? (2011, background): “as the assessment that the individual makes about his/her whole life, both cognitive (Diener et al. 2003) and affective ( Cummins 2010; Davern et al. 2007); and (b) the eudemonic tradition that focuses on psychological well-being and it is based on personal development, on the style and way of copi”

International Variation in Child Subjective Well-Being (2014, background): “This finding has resulted in a variety of hypotheses—that subjective well-being is more a function of personality (Goswami 2013), nature rather than nurture; that it is subject to genetically determined homeostatic adaptation (Cummins 2010); that is subject to false expectations or adaptive preferen”
The challenge of defining wellbeing (2012, methodology): “As much as we are indebted to the work of Headey and Wearing (1992) and Cummins (2010), each of their models was complex and difficult to follow at first glance. Wellbeing has become a term used by the lay person, and is not just for the consideration of academics. Consequently, the authors believe ”
