Associations of Residential Brownness and Greenness with Fasting Glucose in Young Healthy Adults Living in the Desert
TL;DR: The results suggest that within the understudied context of the desert, green vegetation may be health promoting to a degree that is similar to other, non-desert locations in the world that have higher baselines levels of green.

Mapping seasonal sentiments of people visiting blue spaces in urban wetlands: A pilot study on inland cities of China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors found that blue spaces in urban wetland parks were perceived as a positive driver to trigger happiness in spring (regression coefficient [RC] of 0.20), but it triggered negative emotions in autumn (RC of −2.98).

Will boys’ mental health fare worse under a hotter climate in Australia?
TL;DR: For example, the authors found that an increase in annual average daily maximum temperature worsened childhood mental health due to a direct and indirect effect through reduced participation in organized physical activities, as measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) total score, but the result is only significant for boys (albeit the magnitude of the effect was small).

David Goldberg,R Gater,Norman Sartorius,T. B. Üstün,Marco Piccinelli,Oye Gureje,Carolyn M. Rutter +6 more
TL;DR: The shorter GHQ is remarkably robust and works as well as the longer instrument, and the latter should only be preferred if there is an interest in the scaled scores provided in addition to the total score.

Do we really know what makes us happy? A review of the economic literature on the factors associated with subjective well-being
TL;DR: A detailed review of the literature on subjective well-being and its determinants can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight a range of problems in drawing firm conclusions about the causes of SWB; these include some contradictory evidence, concerns over the impact on the findings of potentially unobserved variables and the lack of certainty on the direction of causality.
How important is methodology for the estimates of the determinants of happiness
TL;DR: The authors developed a conditional estimator for the fixed-effect ordered logit model and found that assuming ordinality or cardinality of happiness scores makes little difference, whilst allowing for fixed-effects does change results substantially.
