Recent literature in psychology has disclosed cultural differences in the meaning of happiness/life and the mechanism of social trust across the world. The mechanism and key drivers of subjective wellbeing and trust would also not be uniform but diverse depending on time and place. This possible heterogeneity in the micro-level mechanisms of wellbeing and social trust, however, has not been fully investigated so far even in the social-science research which should understand the importance of cultural settings in social phenomena. This session calls for papers which tackle this research gap with innovative methodology and data sources. Empirical research from a comparative standpoint based on cross-national or repeated/longitudinal micro datasets combined with other data sources such as macro indicators or qualitative data is especially welcome, though theoretical or methodological works are also fine.
