The present research examined activity–companion contexts and humor repertoire breadth as two complementary sources of information about everyday experience and their associations with happiness across two 60-day experience-sampling studies conducted in naturalistic settings. In Study 1, daytime reports assessed momentary happiness together with activity and social context, whereas end-of-day reports assessed daily happiness and humor use across the day. Momentary happiness varied across activity–companion contexts, and broader daily humor repertoire breadth was positively associated with daily happiness. In Study 2, a separate sample completed momentary reports assessing current activity, social context (including perceived intimacy with companions), recent humor use, and momentary happiness. As in Study 1, activity–companion contexts were associated with happiness, and broader humor repertoire breadth over the preceding 15 min was positively associated with momentary happiness. Taken together, these findings indicate that situational information and information about engagement with everyday experience provide two complementary ways of characterizing everyday happiness across daily and momentary timescales.","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842925","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 document an apparent rural–urban paradox : even in unadjusted county-level means, rural counties express higher life satisfaction while urban counties exhibit greater happiness . This opposite gradient persists and is further characterized once the two are treated as distinct layers of subjective well-being, evaluative vs. hedonic, showing that each maps differently onto place, politics, and time. Democratic-leaning areas show a suggestive negative association with evaluative well-being, conditional on structural and temporal controls, but this effect is modest and does not extend to happiness, where no meaningful partisan gradient emerges. Temporal shocks dominate the hedonic layer: happiness falls sharply during 2020–2022, whereas life satisfaction moves more modestly. These patterns are robust across logistic and OLS specifications with clustered standard errors and align with well-being theory. Interpreted as associations for the population of geolocated tweets, the results show that large-scale, language-based indicators can help clarify why prior findings about the rural–urban divide may differ by distinguishing the type of well-being expressed, offering a transparent, reproducible complement to traditional surveys.","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842816","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}

Although its benefits for well-being are documented, its impact on the development of character strengths and mindfulness, and the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. Across two randomized controlled trials ( N1 = 42, M age = 44.74, SD age = 9.70, N2 = 53, M age = 32.23, SD age = 14.40), we examined MBSP’s impact on character strengths and dispositional mindfulness over time (five and two time points, respectively), on a multidimensional measure of well-being (i.e., PERMA), and the mediating role of basic psychological needs (Study 2, pre-registered). Overall, MBSP produced small to medium effects on half of character strengths and overall dispositional mindfulness that lasted beyond the end of the intervention (up to six and three months after, respectively). For well-being, the only significant direct effect was on negative emotions; however, changes in overall PERMA were fully mediated by satisfaction of basic psychological needs, particularly autonomy. Higher character strengths also mediated gains in well-being. These findings suggest that MBSP can enhance character strengths and mindfulness, reduce negative emotions, and improve well-being via the satisfaction of basic psychological needs and changes in character strengths levels.","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148768920","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}

They include the effects on longitudinal development of well-being as well as the under-researched impact of partners’ (dis)similarity in terms of personality traits. Personality traits are strong predictors of well-being with meta-analyses supporting the theory that they have an influence. However, the role of personality similarity in romantic couples, especially among older adults, remains unclear. The study analyzes well-being among older European couples using data from three waves of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (from 2017 to 2022). It employs APIM and DRSA models to examine actor, partner, and personality similarity effects. Well-being is measured using the CASP-12 scale, while personality traits are assessed using the Big Five inventory. Personality predicted CASP-12 over time at actor level, but not at the partner level. Extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness showed positive actor effects, neuroticism a negative actor effect. For CASP-12 development, partner effects were generally more influential than actor effects for most traits. Similarity effects were limited, though trait combinations revealed nuanced interactions. The findings confirm the importance of individuals’ personality traits for subsequent well-being levels, whereas partners’ personality traits played more prominent role in shaping how well-being changed over time. They underscore the value of a dyadic longitudinal approach in revealing complex, trait- and outcome-specific dynamics beyond simple similarity effects.","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148729279","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}

This paper examines how different forms of social capital, namely bonding social capital, bridging social capital and linking social capital, affect subjective well-being among rural populations across income groups. Using data from the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey (VARHS) for the 2016–2020 period and Fixed-effects ordered logit model, the analysis reveals that income significantly moderates the relationship between social capital and subjective well-being. Notably, bonding social capital plays a more significant role for low-income individuals, whereas bridging and linking social capital are more influential among higher-income groups. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of the relationship between social capital and subjective well-being under income heterogeneity in rural contexts and offers policy implications tailored to different income strata to improve well-being among rural residents.","PeriodicalId":15837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Happiness Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693310","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}
