The study - published recently in the journal of SSM- Population Health - examined 18 major life events, and how they affected a sample of 14,000 Australians between 2002 and 2016. The study based on the differential impact of major life events on cognitive and affective wellbeing was conducted by authors from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the University of Sydney. While some life events such as marriage and retirement had positive effects on ‘cognitive’ wellbeing, the net effect of positive events on ‘affective’ wellbeing was close to zero. The researchers also accounted for how life events often occur together, for example, divorce and financial loss, to tease out the differing impacts.
