General Information This fork is part of the Direct+Plus CREP replication (https://osf.io/px0sw/) of a study by Diener et al. (2010). Every student manages a fork of the official replication OSF page as a part of a seminar at the Department of Occupational, Economic and Social Psychology, led by Andre Julian Hartmann and Martin Müller (both graduate students) at the University of Vienna (Austria). Materials All materials are developed together with the students during the seminar and will be added to the project before starting data collection. In addition to the items of the original study, items for further research questions will be added as a direct+ replication. We also participate in the Direct+Plus project by Jordan Wagge containing two questions that deal with financial security. Procedure All students are using the same survey, advertising materials, and OSF page since this is an online study. Every student will sample N = 10 (total targeted sample: N = 270) students living in Vienna within their social circle. Original Abstract The Gallup World Poll, the first representative sample of planet Earth, was used to explore the reasons why happiness is associated with higher income, including the meeting of basic needs, fulfillment of psychological needs, increasing satisfaction with one's standard of living, and public goods. Across the globe, the association of log income with subjective well-being was linear but convex with raw income, indicating the declining marginal effects of income on subjective well-being. Income was a moderately strong predictor of life evaluation but a much weaker predictor of positive and negative feelings. Possessing luxury conveniences and satisfaction with standard of living were also strong predictors of life evaluation. Although the meeting of basic and psychological needs mediated the effects of income on life evaluation to some degree, the strongest mediation was provided by standard of living and ownership of conveniences. In contrast, feelings were most associated with the fulfillment of psychological needs: learning, autonomy, using one's skills, respect, and the ability to count on others in an emergency. Thus, two separate types of prosperity—economic and social psychological—best predict different types of well-being. |
