Causes of Differences in Wellbeing: Recent findings and new approaches

Happiness and wellbeing have emerged as important study subjects within and across many fields of research. A major driving force behind this is the association with physical and mental health and its pivotal role in socioeconomic issues and economic development. With the increased interest in the importance of wellbeing, it is critically important to understand and reveal sources of individual differences.
