Well-being balance and lived experiences: understanding the impact of life situations on human flourishing by Christopher R. Brydges, Alexandra Thérond, Troy W. Norris

“…BackgroundThis study aimed to determine the most significant indicators of positive well-being and understand differences in sources of well-being across different life situations, age groups, genders, and income levels, utilizing a novel measure of positive well-being, the Well-being Balance and Lived Experiences (WBAL) Assessment, which evaluates the frequency of various positive experiences and feelings across a range of activation and arousal levels that have previously been demonstrated to affect subjective well-being and human flourishing.MethodsA sample of 496 evaluable subjects aged 20-69 and census-balanced for gender were recruited from a U.S. population panel. Differences in well-being and sources of well-being were analyzed across subgroups via MANOVA analysis followed by post-hoc ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD analyses using Cohen’s d to determine size and direction of effects between categorical subgroups.ResultsLife situations, including relationship, parenting and employment status, were shown to have a more significant effect on overall well-being than the demographic variables of age, gender and household income. …”

Increase in disturbance-induced canopy gaps leads to reorganization of Central European bird communities by Anne Graser, Claudia Frank, Friederike Kunz, Andreas Schuldt, Cornelius Senf, Christoph Sudfeldt, Sven Trautmann, Johannes Kamp

“…We related bird richness and abundance to disturbance (measured as the disturbance fraction, i.e. canopy gap area in relation to the total forest area per monitoring plot) derived from a 30 m-resolution forest disturbance layer based on Landsat satellite data. This allowed us to assess effects of young canopy gaps (disturbance <5 years ago) and older canopy gaps (disturbance 5–10 years ago) on population trends of single species, combined trends across functional groups and bird diversity. …”
