Unemployment is one of the most studied correlates of SWB and the evidence is nearly unanimous that unemployment is negatively related to SWB (Clark 2018). 4 The positive relation with health is due in part to "improve[d] immune, cardiovascular, and endocrine functioning (De Neve et al. 2013, 55)." Tay, Kuykendall, and Diener (2015) offer similar evidence, however, not all studies find significant effects of SWB on health (cf., Liu et al., 2016).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
