The theory arose through conceptual overlap between physiological notions of homeostasis and understanding the remarkable degree of stability in subjective wellbeing data. This chapter summarises almost 20 years of research into this form of psychological homeostasis, outlining its theoretical and empirical basis, its predictive properties, and implications for applied research.]
