We developed the Harmony in Life Scale (HILS) emphasizing psychological balance and flexibility in life.

We suggest that the use of computerized methods to quantify and analyze text can be an important tool to move the affective profiles model into the era of big text data

We used a computational method to quantitatively investigate the relationship between personality and written narratives of life events.

We explore how affective profiles systematically relate to psychological well-being and harmony in life.

We explore the influences of discrete positive and negative emotions on cooperation in the context of a social dilemma game.

Certain personality traits, such as Extraversion, Openness, and Conscientiousness, relate differently to well-being measures across cultures. Meanwhile, Neuroticism seems to relate similarly across cultures at least with regard to subjective well-being.

This article outlines a potential synergy between sustainability and well-being research.
