A.; Guemaz, F.The link between economic inequality and individual well-being has been gaining increasing research attention. This study examines this relationship using data from 71 countries with diverse national incomes, addressing three key research gaps: (1) incorporating measures of both perceived and objective economic inequality, (2) extending analysis to multiple components of well-being beyond happiness, including m...
Cultural religiosity moderates the relationship between being in love and subje...
Olechowski, M.; Górski, M. R.; Joshanloo, M.; Hussain, M. A.; Wasiel, A.; Yeung, V. W. L.; Bond, M. H.; Haas, B. W.; Guemaz, F.; Boussena, M.Previous research indicates that the significance of love varies considerably across cultures. In the present study, we introduce an often-overlooked cultural factor – religiosity – to explore its influence on the relationship between being in love and five dimensions of subjective well-being. We conducted two cross-cultural studies with 31,608 participants from 117 samples across 83 societies. Our findings rev...

Okvitawanli, A.; Gajewska, O.; Joshanloo, M.; Vignoles, V. L.; Yeung, V. W. L.; Górski, M. R.; Haas, B. W.; Hussain, M. A.; Park, J.; Akaliyski, P.The purpose of this paper is to understand the implications of different dimensions of cultural models of selfhood for the frequency of being in love across cultures. This is achieved by analyzing large cross-cultural datasets encompassing 49 and 70 countries. In doing so, this paper extends the current discussion regarding the impact of cultural contexts and individual mindsets on the experience of being in lo...
Love, culture, and well-being: How values moderate the link between relationshi...
Śmieja, M.; Walczak, A.; Cacek, J.; Górski, M. R.; Bond, M. H.; Gjoneska, B.; Hussain, M. A.; Joshanloo, M.; Szumowska, E.; Teyssier, J.This study examines the interplay between relationship status, well-being, and values across 57 countries. We hypothesized that individuals in romantic relationships would report higher well-being (measured as happiness, harmony, and meaning in life) compared to singles. We anticipated that in cultures prioritizing relationships, the benefits of being coupled would be amplified, while in societies emphasizing a...
Happiness maximization is a WEIRD way of living
Kuba, K.; Kostoula, O.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Mosca, O.; Lee, J. H.; Maricchiolo, F.; Kosiarczyk, A.; Kocimska-Bortnowska, A.; Torres, C.; Hitokoto, H.Psychological science tends to treat subjective well-being and happiness synonymously. We start from the assumption that subjective well-being is more than being happy to ask the fundamental question: What is the ideal level of happiness? From a cross-cultural perspective, we propose that the idealization of attaining maximum levels of happiness may be especially characteristic of Western, educated, industrial,...
A cross-cultural study on the association between societal conditions and the i...
Lou, X.; Haas, B. W.; Zelenski, J. M.; Xing, C.; Vignoles, V. L.; Vauclair, C.-M.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Uchida, Y.; Teyssier, J.; Torres, C.Although most people aspire to be happy, the extent to which people pursue or idealize experiencing high levels of happiness does differ according to sociocultural context. This study was designed to elucidate which societal and cultural indicators are the most conducive to fostering high levels of happiness idealization. To accomplish this goal, we measured levels of happiness idealization for 11,170 participa...
Examining the connection between position-based power and social status across ...
Wasiel, A.; Górski, M. R.; Bond, M. H.; Yeung, V. W. L.; Akaliyski, P.; Akello, G.; Park, J.; Joshanloo, M.; Sokolov, B.; Hussain, M. A.; Li, L. M. W.Even in the most egalitarian societies, hierarchies of power and status shape social life. However, power and received status are not synonymous—individuals in positions of power may or may not be accorded the respect corresponding to their role. Using a cooperatively collected dataset from 18,096 participants across 70 cultures, we investigate, through a survey-based correlational design, when perceived positi...
The role of cultural heterogeneity in strengthening the link between family rel...
Li, L. M. W.; Lun, V. M.-C.; Bond, M. H.; Yeung, J. C.; Igou, E. R.; Haas, B. W.; Stoyanova, S.; Maricchiolo, F.; Zelenski, J. M.; Vauclair, C.-M.We argue that the importance of family relationships for individual well-being varies across societies as a function of a society’s degree of cultural heterogeneity. To examine the role of family relationships, we analyzed the responses from 13,009 participants in 50 societies on their life satisfaction across societies varying in their levels of historical and contemporary cultural heterogeneity. Such heteroge...

The authors report the case of a 46-year-old male who developed fever, myalgias and headache a week after having contact with animal feed contaminated by rodents. Serological tests were positive for Francisella tularensis. This first case of autochtho...
