Efforts to reduce work stress among frontline health workers in India, namely the rural Accredited Social Health Activists or ‘ASHAs’ (resident women, lay health workers) have predominantly emphasized on ‘extrinsic’ variables (e.g., financial incentives, or enhanced supervision), with little consideration of ‘intrinsic’ factors like the wellbeing of ASHAs themselves or building their abilities in managing

Gender Equality and Life Satisfaction: A Mediation Model with Individual Autonomy, Income Per Capita and Trust J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2025-02-16 Johan Graafland, Annemiek Schilpzand
Gender equality has been found to positively affect life satisfaction. However, the reason why gender equality affects life satisfaction remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we hypothesize three mediators for this relationship: individual autonomy, income per capita, and generalized trust. All three variables have been found to positively affect life satisfaction. We argue that each mediator

Relative Effects on Life Satisfaction Revisited: Social Comparison is Only Half the Story J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2025-02-16 Johannes Hirata, Patricia Groß
Empirical happiness research clearly shows that life satisfaction depends, among other things, on relative effects. However, even where the data do not permit any inferences regarding the mechanisms that give rise to relative effects, studies often claim that relative effects are the result of comparisons that individuals make between their situation and that of others. We argue that this interpretation

Adolescent well-being is a multifaceted construct embedded in family, school, and peer socialization contexts.

School life is an important determinant of adolescents’ subjective well-being.

Affective well-being, as an important component of well-being, is related to an individual’s mental health and quality of life.

The ontological turn in social sciences has revealed the anthropocentrism of earlier literature, but the role of interspecies relations in well-being ideals remains less explored. We examine the role of interspecies relations in well-being conceptions.

Philosophers provide excellent resources for developing a science of virtues, and an interdisciplinary collaboration between philosophers and psychologists seems ideal.

The Effect of Political Regime on the Association of Values with Subjective Well-Being J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2025-01-09 Eduard Ponarin, Yulia Afanasyeva
Previous research has often demonstrated that liberal values and democratic regimes are associated with higher levels of subjective well-being (SWB). However, consistent results are only found at the country level, while at the individual level the relationship between values, democracy, and SWB is not as clear. This article analyzes recent data from 86 countries and shows that individual SWB depends

The availability of childcare services eases parents’ daily lives and research has shown that it positively affects well-being, especially for mothers.

Within- and Between-Person Effects of Savoring Ability and Well-Being in Older Adults: A Longitudinal Study J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-18 Jacquelyn E. Stephens, Laurel Mertz, Jennifer L. Smith
Well-being in older adults is an important concern as the aging population grows, as is identifying modifiable factors that contribute to well-being over time. The ability to savor the moment (i.e., to notice and upregulate one’s emotional response to positive events) has been linked to greater well-being; however, few studies have examined these relationships longitudinally or in older adults.

Awe Influences Prosocial Behavior and Subjective Well-Being Through the Quiet Ego J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-11 Jiali Zhang, Baorui Chang, Jiandong Fang
Awe has been proposed to promote prosocial behavior (PSB) through the quiet ego. However, this view lacks empirical research support. The present study verified and expanded this view through longitudinal and experimental studies. In Study 1, we induced state awe through video clips and provided experimental support for the mediating role of the quiet ego in the link between awe and PSB and SWB. In

Previous research has established the central role of an individuals’ locus of control (LoC) in influencing subjective well-being. However, earlier studies have predominantly omitted an exploration of potential moderating factors at the country-level and have rarely delved into the influence of LoC on an important yet often-overlooked dimension of well-being—namely, subjective well-being inequality
