New preprint! What makes for a satisfying life? The obvious answer is “it depends” and so there has been a lot of interest in heterogeneous effects on well-being. In our study, we tackled the question using diary data on both domain satisfaction and general life satisfaction: osf.io/preprints/ps...
Plot displaying the distributions of the point estimates of the individual-level effects of domain satisfaction on general life satisfactionPeople care about different domains of life (e.g., their health, social life, work) to varying degrees. It thus seems plausible that how satisfied they are with those domains matters for their general life satisfaction to varying degrees. This idea has been investigated in the importance-weighting literature with at best mixed results, but variations of it can be found across different fields of psychology and include claims that values, personality, and age moderate the extent to which different life domains affect life satisfaction. In this study, we investigated the effects of satisfaction with 14 different life domains on general life satisfaction in a study of 439 individuals who provided up to 15 diary entries, resulting in a total of 6,071 observations. All domains had positive effects on average, with the largest effects for satisfaction with leisure time usage (b = 0.19, bstd = 0.25 relative to the within-person variability) and relationship satisfaction (b = 0.16, bstd = 0.17
