Journal Title：Journal Of Happiness Studies

The international peer-reviewed Journal of Happiness Studies is devoted to theoretical and applied advancements in all areas of well-being research. It covers topics referring to both the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives characterizing well-being studies. The former includes the investigation of cognitive dimensions such as satisfaction with life, and positive affect and emotions. The latter includes the study of constructs and processes related to optimal psychological functioning, such as meaning and purpose in life, character strengths, personal growth, resilience, optimism, hope, and self-determination. In addition to contributions on appraisal of life-as-a-whole, the journal accepts papers investigating these topics in relation to specific domains, such as family, education, physical and mental health, and work.

The journal welcomes high-quality theoretical and empirical submissions in the fields of economics, psychology and sociology, as well as contributions from researchers in the domains of education, medicine, philosophy and other related fields.

The Journal of Happiness Studies provides a forum for three main areas in happiness research: 1) theoretical conceptualizations of well-being, happiness and the good life; 2) empirical investigation of well-being and happiness in different populations, contexts and cultures; 3) methodological advancements and development of new assessment instruments.

The journal addresses the conceptualization, operationalization and measurement of happiness and well-being dimensions, as well as the individual, socio-economic and cultural factors that may interact with them as determinants or outcomes.

Central Questions include, but are not limited to:

Conceptualization:

What meanings are denoted by terms like happiness and well-being?

How do these fit in with broader conceptions of the good life?

Operationalization and Measurement:

Which methods can be used to assess how people feel about life?

How to operationalize a new construct or an understudied dimension in the well-being domain?

What are the best measures for investigating specific well-being related constructs and dimensions?

Prevalence and causality

Do individuals belonging to different populations and cultures vary in their well-being ratings?

How does individual well-being relate to social and economic phenomena (characteristics, circumstances, behavior, events, and policies)?

What are the personal, social and economic determinants and causes of individual well-being dimensions?

Evaluation:

What are the consequences of well-being for individual development and socio-economic progress?

Are individual happiness and well-being worthwhile goals for governments and policy makers?

Does well-being represent a useful parameter to orient planning in physical and mental healthcare, and in public health?

Interdisciplinary studies:

How has the study of happiness developed within and across disciplines?

Can we link philosophical thought and empirical research?

What are the biological correlates of well-being dimensions?

國際同行評議的《幸福研究雜志》致力于幸福研究各個領域的理論和應用進步。它涵蓋了幸福研究的享樂主義和幸福主義觀點。前者包括對認知維度的研究，例如對生活的滿意度、積極情感和情緒。后者包括對與最佳心理功能相關的結構和過程的研究，例如人生的意義和目的、性格優勢、個人成長、適應力、樂觀、希望和自決。除了對整個生活進行評估的投稿外，該期刊還接受研究這些主題與特定領域（如家庭、教育、身心健康和工作）關系的論文。

該期刊歡迎經濟學、心理學和社會學領域的高質量理論和實證投稿，以及教育、醫學、哲學和其他相關領域研究人員的投稿。

《幸福研究雜志》為幸福研究的三個主要領域提供了一個論壇：1）幸福、幸福和美好生活的理論概念化；2）對不同人群、背景和文化中幸福和幸福的實證研究； 3) 方法論的進步和新評估工具的開發。

該期刊探討了幸福和福祉維度的概念化、操作化和測量，以及可能作為決定因素或結果與它們相互作用的個人、社會經濟和文化因素。

核心問題包括但不限于：

概念化：

幸福和福祉等術語表示什么含義？

這些如何與美好生活的更廣泛概念相適應？

操作化和測量：

哪些方法可用于評估人們對生活的感受？

如何操作福祉領域的新構造或研究不足的維度？

調查特定福祉相關構造和維度的最佳措施是什么？

普遍性和因果關系
