Investigating the relationships between subjective well-being and psychological well-being over two decades

Emotion
Mohsen Joshanloo

Abstract

Although much research has been conducted on the predictors and outcomes of both subjective well-being (SWB) and psychological well-being (PWB), the magnitude and direction of the causal relationship between these constructs remain unclear. The studies reported in this article were designed to assess the temporal relationship between SWB and PWB during a period of 20 years. The studies used 3 waves of survey data, with intervals of 10 years, from the Midlife in the United States project, a representative longitudinal panel study of American adults (N = 2,731). Cross-lagged panel analyses were conducted to examine directionality of the relationships. Results showed that the autoregressive effects were large, suggesting a high degree of stability in SWB and PWB over time. Yet the levels of stability were generally higher for PWB than SWB. Whereas PWB unequivocally predicted increases in SWB over time, the prospective effects of SWB on PWB were inconsistent (i.e., positive, negative, or nonsignificant) across various points in time. The study findings suggest that PWB represents a more robust and consistent antecedent of future well-being than SWB. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
