We also expected that having a daughter is related to less traditional gender role attitudes (daughter effect) and tested ...

Although the structure of subjective well-being (SWB) has been examined in various studies, no consensus on its structure has yet been reached. This may be due to a neglect of the construct's dynamic aspects and domain satisfaction as a core aspect of SWB.
