Chapter 11The Stability and Validity of Quality of Life Measures

Kammann, † Richard; Farry, Marcelle; Herb, Peter

Pages: 279 –303

A factor analysis of thirteen well-being scales shows that these two...

Chapter 17Is Happiness a Trait?

Veenhoven, Ruut

Pages: 477 –536

Chapter 18On the Trail of the Gold Standard for Subjective Well-Being

Cummins, Robert A.

Pages: 537 –558
