In the current paper, we address this gap and test the reasoning that individualism correlates with societal happiness because the most common measure of societal happiness (i.e., country-level aggregates of personal life satisfaction) is individualism-themed. With the data collected from 13,009 participants across ffty countries, we compare associations of four types of happiness (out of which three are more collectivism-themed than personal life satisfaction) with two diferent measures of individualism. We replicated previous fndings by demonstrating that societal happiness measured as country-level aggregate of personal life satisfaction is correlated with individualism. Importantly though, we also found that the country-level aggregates of the collectivism-themed measures of happiness do not tend to be signifcantly correlated with individualism. Implications for happiness studies and for policy makers are signaledPublication The Role of Cultural Heterogeneity in Strengthening the Link Between Family Relationships and Life Satisfaction in 50 Societies(2024) Wai Li, Liman Man; Miu-Chi Lun, Vivian; Harris Bond, Michael; Yeung, June Chun; Raymond Igou, Eric; Haas, Brian W.; Maricchiolo, Fridanna; Zelenski, John M.; Vauclair, Christin- Melanie; Uchida, Yukiko; Poláčková Šolcová, Iva; Sirlopú, David; Joonha Park, Joonha; Kosiarczyk, Aleksandra; Kocimska-Zych, Agata; Colin A.

Hannah; Liu, Xinhui; Łużniak-Piecha, MagdalenaWe argue that the importance of family relationships for individual well-being varies across societies as a function of a society’s degree of cultural heterogeneity. To examine the role of family relationships, we analyzed the responses from 13,009 participants in 50 societies on their life satisfaction across societies varying in their levels of historical and contemporary cultural heterogeneity. Such heterogeneity creates differences in the frequency of interacting with unfamiliar groups, which leads families to become more central to their members’ satisfaction with life. Multi-level analyses showed that historical and contemporary cultural heterogeneity moderated the pattern such that greater historical or contemporary cultural heterogeneity of society promoted a stronger positive relation between family relationship satisfaction and individual life satisfaction. Our results also revealed that the moderating role of historical cultural heterogeneity was more reliable than that of contemporary cultural heterogeneity. These findings demonstrate the importance of societal demography in shaping people’s psychological processes in different historical periods, suggesting a universal, trans-historical cultural process.
