AnnotationAnalysis of data from the General Social Surveys (GSS) for 1972 to 1996 found that among Americans aged 45+, most of the major correlates of global subjective well-being show similar effects on financial satisfaction. The study's findings confirm a non-linear effect of income on financial satisfaction. Comparing results from different analytical methods, this study also alerts researchers to the importance of taking into account the level of measurements of study variables, which have tended to be overlooked by previous subjective well-being research.
