MethodologicalApproach

Toidentifythewidestrangeofpublishedpapersanddisserta-tions,weusedseveralsearchstrategies(Cooper,1998).First,wesearchedthePsycINFOonlinedatabase,usingavarietyofkeywords(e.g.,happiness,satisfaction,affect,emotion,andmood).Next,usingtheancestrymethod,thereferencelistofeveryem-pirical,theoretical,andreviewpaperandchapterwasfurthercombedforadditionalrelevantarticles.Toobtainanypapersthat

Thefinalbodyofliteraturewascomposedof225papers,ofwhich11areunpublishedordissertations.Fromthese225papers,weexamined293samples,comprisingover275,000participants,andcomputed313independenteffectsizes.Astudywasincludedinourtablesifitsatisfiedthefollowingcriteria.First,measuresofhappiness,PA,oracloselyrelatedconstructhadtobeincluded,inadditiontoassessmentofatleastoneoutcome,characteristic,resource,skill,orbehavior.Second,thedatahadtoincludeeitherazero-ordercorrelationcoefficientorinformationthatcouldbeconvertedtoanreffectsize(e.g.,ttests,Ftests,meansandstandarddeviations,andchi-squares).Ifastudydidnotreportanreffectsize,wecomputedonefromdescriptivestatistics,tstatis-tics,Fratios,andtablesofcounts(seeRosenthal,1991).Ifnorelevantconvertiblestatisticswerepresented,otherthanapvalue,wecalculatedthetstatisticfromthepvalueandanr-sub(equivalent)(Rosenthal&Rubin,2003).Whenapaperre-portedp .05,p .01,orns,wecomputedrsub(equivalent)withpvaluesof.0245,.005,and.50(one-tailed),respectively,whichlikelyyieldedahighlyconservativeestimateoftheeffectsize.Finally,thesamplesizehadtobeavailable.Whenpossible,wealsocontactedauthorsforfurtherinformation.
