What is it about?

This paper addresses the variation in direct value-SWB associations across countries and proposes that the cultural values that prevail in a society moderate the associations. Cultural Egalitarianism which emphasizes cooperative behavior out of personal choice, thereby preserving the social fabric (Schwartz, 2006, 2014) was proposed as the crucial moderator. The cultural context shaped the strength and direction of the associations between individuals’ values and SWB.
