• Arousal, avoidant and decisional procrastinators: Do they exist? (2010, background): “As Steel, Schmidt, and Shultz (2008) review regarding the commensurability of measures, personality traits that are viewed as equivalent often have correlations in this range.”
• The relationship between nature connectedness and happiness: a meta-analysis (2014, background): “Although events can influence an individual's present mood state, most have only a limited long-term impact on one's happiness (Steel et al., 2008, but see Diener et al., 2006 for exceptions).”
• A controlled trial of mindfulness training in schools: The importance of practice for an impact on well-being (2010, neutral): “Keywords: well-being; education; mindfulness; adolescents; intervention”
• Mental well-being in the religious and the non-religious: evidence for a curvilinear relationship (2011, background): “Emotional stability or negative affect (correlated moderately with life satisfaction) includes both state and trait components and can be considered both a personality trait as well as a measure of subjective well-being (Steel, Schmidt, & Shultz, 2008 ).”
• The influence of personality and life events on subjective well-being from a life span perspective (2009, background): “…did not fully support existing findings suggesting substantial correlations between N, E, A, C and SWB and a weaker but significant association between O and SWB (DeNeve & Cooper, 1998; McCrae & Costa, 1991; Steel et al., 2008): While N clearly predicted SWB, the other personality factors did not.”
• Vigor as a Positive Affect at Work: Conceptualizing Vigor, Its Relations with Related Constructs, and Its Antecedents and Consequences (2011, background): “An indirect path of influence relates to the tendency of individuals to seek out social situations in accordance with their personality needs; for example, extraverts tend to select stimulating social situations more likely to lead to experienced vigor (Steel et al., 2008).”
• The Silver Lining of Materialism: The Impact of Luxury Consumption on Subjective Well-Being (2012, background): “…biological, motivational, personal and cultural factors have been linked to the concept of subjective well-being (Biswas-Diener et al. 2004; Busseri et al. 2009; González Gutiérrez et al. 2005; Kahneman et al. 1999; LaBarbera and Gürhan 1997; Steel et al. 2008; Stubbe et al. 2005).”
