Abstract
[A central issue in the study of well-being is cultural differences. Do cultures have an effect on well-being? Do people in different cultures have different conceptions of well-being that, in turn, influence the feelings they deem most desirable? Are the causes of well-being similar or distinct in different cultures? These questions speak to the fundamental nature of subjective well-being; and, therefore, understanding in this field cannot proceed without first acknowledging the influence of culture.]
