Setting the Set Point: Initial Predictors of Life Satisfaction in Early Adulthood

Year: 2006

Type: preprint

Abstract: In this article, we examine the patterns of association among a number of different factors that may contribute to differences in the initial baseline level of subjective well-being among young people in transition to adulthood. By examining the nature and patterns of these associations, we intend to identify potential areas where strategies may be developed-at the individual, micro, or macro level of policy-to influence the determinants of the baseline level of subjective well-being that are not attributable to genetic or inherited traits.
