Dear colleagues,
We are conducting a meta-analysis on the psychometrics of well-being. We are seeking unpublished or in-press studies (e.g., working papers, dissertations/theses, conference papers, preprints, and datasets not yet in a journal article) that measure at least two of the following dimensions:
Relationship (quality or quantity), Mastery (competence), Meaning (purpose), Autonomy, Engagement, Optimism, Life Satisfaction, Negative Affect, or Positive Affect.
If you have a relevant study, please email the manuscript and/or available study details to tptashnik@providence.edu. If you cannot share the full manuscript or dataset, summary statistics are sufficient. Helpful information includes
- Sample size and descriptive statistics (means, SDs) for well-being variables
- Correlation matrix among any of the well-being variables
- Measure details (scale name/version, reliability, and any item modifications/adaptations)
- Study context (country, % female/male, and mean age)
- Preferred citation format
Deadline: February 13, 2026
Thank you in advance for your help.
