  • Daily meaning in life was measured with a 2-item scale used in prior daily diary studies.

    “Daily meaning in life was measured with a 2-item scale (“How meaningful did you feel your life was today?” “How much did you feel your life had purpose today?”) used in prior daily diary studies (Kashdan & Steger, 2007; Michael F. Steger, Kashdan, & Oishi, 2008).”

  • The experience of pleasure during the receipt of pure rewards and risk taking may not be connected to deeper psychological processes, and striatal response to such immediate rewards may represent a poor long-term strategy for achieving enduring well-being.

    “Therefore, the experience of pleasure during the receipt of pure rewards and risk taking may not be connected to deeper psychological processes, and striatal response to such immediate rewards may represent a poor long-term strategy for achieving enduring well-being (5).”

  • The lack of association between eudaimonic and hedonic rewards is likely a by-product of the experimental tasks and less reflective of real-world experiences.

    “It is important to note that we did not find an association between eudaimonic and hedonic rewards, which is likely a by-product of the experimental tasks, and less reflective of real-world experiences, as empirical and theoretical work in adults suggests that the two types of rewards are correlated aspects of experience (5).”

  • Contemporary psychological research distinguishes between eudaimonic and hedonic well-being, with empirical studies demonstrating long-term benefits of eudaimonic pursuits and sometimes detrimental effects of hedonic pursuits.

    “Contemporary psychological research has continued to distinguish between eudaimonic well-being and hedonic well-being, (e.g., refs. 3 and 4), with empirical studies demonstrating the long-term benefits of eudaimonic pursuits and the sometimes detrimental effects of hedonic pursuits (e.g., ref. 5).”

  • Hedonic rewards provide short-term feelings of happiness and satisfaction, but such positive affect tends to dissipate more quickly than eudaimonic rewards.

    “Hedonic rewards provide short-term feelings of happiness and satisfaction, but such positive affect tends to dissipate more quickly than eudaimonic rewards (5, 12, 16, 17).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
