Abstract

Memorializes Ed Diener (1946-2021). Although academic articles on wellbeing are now commonplace, this has not always been the case. Ed Diener helped to establish this growing and important topic of research. Ed published the Psychological Bulletin article entitled "Subjective Well-Being" in 1984, launching subjective well-being (SWB) research. The following year, Ed and his students published the Satisfaction With Life Scale, one of the most widely used measures of well-being and a paper that has been cited more than 30,000 times. His impact on psychology lives on in the journals he helped found, the Journal of Happiness Studies and Perspectives on Psychological Science, as well as with his many collaborators, graduate students, and postdocs.
