Drawing from work on meaning and self-determination theory, the paper examines the influence of customer participation on two components of customer well-being: affective states and meaning of participation. Two studies show that customer participation significantly improved customers’ affective states and meaning of participation, and psychological ownership was one of the underlying mechanisms. Product type further moderated the relationship between customer participation and psychological ownership, and between customer participation and well-being. Specifically, the effect of customer participation on psychological ownership was stronger for participants in physical product condition, while it became attenuated albeit significant for participants in the intangible service condition. The relationship between customer participation and customer well-being also became weaker in intangible service condition. Our findings contribute to theories of customer participation and customer well-being, and also suggest direct implications for marketing strategy.</p>","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138544758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent cross-sectional US-based studies suggest that the income of other people in a neighbourhood—geographic reference income—impacts on individual wellbeing but is mediated by geographic scale. On controlling for a household’s own income, subjective wellbeing is raised by neighbourhood income and lowered by region-wide income. However, these findings could be driven by the self-selection of innately happy or unhappy individuals into higher-income areas. This study’s methodology takes advantage of panel-data modelling to show that unobserved individual heterogeneity is in fact correlated with reference income, but on curbing its impacts through the inclusion of fixed-effects we find that there is still a positive relationship between reference income and subjective wellbeing at the neighbourhood level. However, we detect no relationship at the region-wide level. Additionally, the subjective wellbeing relationship is the same no matter an individual’s rank in the distribution of incomes within an area. The neighbourhood wellbeing relationship has implications for policies addressing residential segregation and social mixing.</p>","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":" 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138492006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the compensating income variation method on data from the Icelandic SAGA (Stress-And-Gene-Analysis) cohort to estimate the monetary compensation needed to offset the welfare loss associated with bullying of women. We examine differences by frequency and extensivity of bullying, the type of bullying, the victim´s age during most recent bullying and years since most recent bullying. We find considerable differences in results across those bullying characteristics. To put this in context, the yearly value of reduced well-being associated with bullying in adulthood ($14,532–25,002 depending on model specification) by far exceeds the societal cost of reduced productivity and absenteeism, and the value of reduced well-being associated with bullying in childhood ($46,391–48,565, depending on model specification) by far exceeds the sum of the societal medical cost, travel cost of parents, and cost of reduced productivity of parents.

This is randomized control study aimed to examine the efficacy of a theory-driven, multi-component, positive psychology group intervention to improve well-being in a clinical sample of 77 young adults with paranoid tendencies compared to a waiting-list group. Results showed that the intervention protocol was highly acceptable for participants, with high participant satisfaction, attendance, and adherence rates.

However, many studies use ad hoc instruments to measure the construct, with may lead to mistaken conclusions. This review aims to identify and assess the psychometric properties of the instruments available to measure FWB. We also assess the dimensions (theoretical and empirical) and FWB definitions used by these instruments. Seven databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, Virtual Health Library, Scielo, and Web of Science) were searched for construction, validation, or adaption studies of FWB instruments. This review protocol has been registered on PROSPERO. A total of 15 records were found eligible. Findings showed that there are 10 scales with good psychometric properties available to measure FWB, five of those are multidimensional and three have ≥ 6 types of validity evidence. The Multidimensional Subjective Financial Well-Being Scale (MSFWBS) seems to be the most complete instrument, although it only assesses the subjective aspect of FWB. All the instruments found in this review have some limitations, therefore, the use of a combination of at least two scales it is advised during FWB assessments. In the discussion section, future research directions to guide the definition of FWB, the construction, cross-cultural adaptation and the use of psychometric instruments are suggested.</p><p><i>PROSPERO Registration</i>: CRD42022372804, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022372804</p>","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71417414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
