Terminal decline in well-being : the role of social orientation

Gerstorf, Denis; Hoppmann, Christiane A.; Löckenhoff, … - 2016

Well-being development at the end of life is often characterized by steep deteriorations, but individual differences in these terminal declines are substantial and not yet well understood. This study moved beyond the typical consideration of health predictors and explored the role of social...

Terminal decline in well-being : the role of multi-indicator constellations of physical health and psychosocial correlates

Brandmaier, Andreas M.; Ram, Nilam; Wagner, Gert G.; … - 2017

Well-being is often relatively stable across adulthood and old age, but typically exhibits pronounced deteriorations and vast individual differences in the terminal phase of life. However, the factors contributing to these differences are not well understood. Using up to 25-year annual...

Alternative values-based "recipes" for life satisfaction : German results with an Australian replication

Headey, Bruce; Wagner, Gert G. - 2018

In most research on Life Satisfaction (LS), it is assumed that the covariates of high and low LS are the same for everyone, or at least everyone in the West. In this paper, analysing data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, with a limited replication based on Australian panel data, we estimate...

Self-selection and subjective well-being : copula models with an application to public and private sector work

Lüchinger, Simon; Stutzer, Alois; Winkelmann, Rainer - 2008

We discuss a new approach to specifying and estimating ordered probit models with endogenous switching, or with binary endogenous regressor, based on copula functions. These models provide a framework of analysis for self-selection in economic well-being equations, where assigment of regressors...

Levels of and changes in life satisfaction predict mortality hazards : disentangling the role of physical health, perceived control, and social orientation

Hülür, Gizem; Heckhausen, Jutta; Hoppmann, Christiane A. - 2017

It is well-documented that well-being typically evinces precipitous decrements at the end of life. However, research has primarily taken a postdictive approach by knowing the outcome (date of death) and aligning in retrospect how well-being has changed for people with documented death events. In...

Dimensions of quality of life in Germany : measured by plain text responses in a representative survey (SOEP)

Wagner, Gert G.; Bruemmer, Martin; Glemser, Axel; … - 2017

This paper demonstrates how quality of life can be measured by plain text in a representative survey, the German Socio Economic Panel study (SOEP). Furthermore, the paper shows that problems that are difficult to monitor, especially problems like the state of the European Union, long-term...
