Factors Predicting the Subjective Well-Being of Nations
TL;DR: Subjective well-being in 55 nations, reported in probability surveys and a large college student sample, was correlated with social, economic, and cultural characteristics of the nations and only individualism persistently correlated with SWB when other predictors were controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Analysis of Learned Helplessness: Continuous Changes in Performance, Strategy, and Achievement Cognitions Following Failure.
Carol Diener,Carol S. Dweck +1 more
TL;DR: This paper explored helpless versus mastery-oriented differences in the nature, timing, and relative frequency of a variety of achievement-r elated cognitions by continuously monitoring verbalizations following failure and found that helpless children made the expected attributions for failure to lack of ability; mastery oriented children made surprisingly few attributions but instead engaged in self-monitoring and self-instructions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Most People Are Happy
Ed Diener,Carol Diener +1 more
TL;DR: In fact, most people report a positive level of subjective well-being (SWB), and say that they are satisfied with domains such as marriage, work, and leisure as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of learned helplessness: II. The processing of success.
Carol Diener,Carol S. Dweck +1 more
TL;DR: Compared to mastery-oriented children, helpless children underestimated the number of success (and overestimated the numberOf failures), did not view successes as indicative of ability, and did not expect the successes to continue, so successes are less salient, less predictive, and less enduring--less successful.
Journal ArticleDOI
The wealth of nations revisited: Income and quality of life
Ed Diener,Carol Diener +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 32 universal human values (e.g., happiness, social order, and social justice) across 101 nations and found that wealth correlated significantly with 26 of the 32 values, indicating a higher quality of life in wealthier nations.
