Before and after this hedonic deprivation, participants viewed ima...

When considered in isolation, neither objective nor subjective socioeconomic status (SES) was meaningfully assoc...

Subjective Well-Being and Relative Deprivation: An Empirical Link This paper explores the relationship between two well-established concepts of measuring individual well-being: the concept of happiness, i.e. self-reported level of satisfaction with income and life, and relative deprivation/satisfaction, i.e. the gaps between the individual's income and the incomes of all individuals richer/poor...

The aim of the present study was to provide data on the relationship between premature CVD mortality, statin utilization a...
