Talk:Satisfaction paradox

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thanks for creating this page for a psychological concept. There are sufficient reliable sources to warrant this as a page, although some of the sources (such as that to Research gate or linked in) aren't demonstrably reliable sources (the Researchgate article isn't linked to a peer-reviewed publication, for example). I also wonder whether this a synonym for the "paradox of well-being", which perhaps has even more use and so literature using this concept could be used to expand this page. Remember also that linking from other pages ensures that this content will be found by readers.

Thank you Klbrain for the feedback. I'll try to improve the sources. As for the paradox of well-being, it is a related but distinct concept from satisfaction paradox. The paradox of well-being states that happiness remains stable or increases with age despite life challenges. The satisfaction paradox suggests that directly chasing happiness makes it harder to attain. Southernhemisphere (talk) 13:49, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Duplicates

The "Financial satisfaction" and "Psychological accommodation" and "Material circumstances" sections all contain nearly word-for-word duplicates of each other. ~2025-36370-13 (talk) 14:45, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I removed the tag, template instructions require to explain your reasons on the page's talk page, which never happened. No prejudice against retagging, provided requisite evidence is provided. Paradoctor (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
