The second edition will be an update and further elaboration of the
literature related to subjective well-being, happiness, and life
satisfaction. It will have a new substantial section that focuses
on reviewing much of the literature of subjective well-being within
specific life domains (social life, material life, leisure life,
work life, community life, spiritual life, family life, health
life, sex life, travel life, etc.) In the 1st edition the research
in these various life domains was discussed only briefly. The
second edition will maintain the same organizational structure of
the first edition; that is, Part 1 will focus on introduction
(definitions and distinctions; examples of measures of subjective
well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction; and motives
underlying subjective well-being). Part 2 will focus on
psychological strategies that are allow people to optimize
subjective well-being by engaging in psychological processes
related to the relationship between and among life domains (e.g.,
social life, family life, love life, spiritual life, community
life, financial life, etc.) This part will contain four chapters
related to these various "inter-domain" processes: bottom-up
spillover, top-down spillover, horizontal spillover, and
compensation. Part 3 of the book will focus on "intra-domain"
psychological strategies designed to optimize subjective
well-being. These include re-evaluation based on personal history,
re-evaluation based on self-concept, re-evaluation based on social
comparison, goal selection, goal implementation and attainment, and
re-appraisal. Part 4 of the book will focus on balance
processes-how people attempt to create balance in their lives using
psychological processes within specific life domains (intra-domain
strategies) and processes that relate one domain to another
(inter-domain strategies).
