Connecting the dots: using a network approach to study the wellbeing spectrum.

ABSTRACT: In positive psychology, defining the wellbeing construct has been a challenge. We used the psychometric network approach to study the structure of wellbeing. The sample consisted of Dutch adults registered with the Netherlands Twin Register. The variables were measured through standardized surveys. The network was estimated using the Mixed Graphical Models method and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regularization to limit the number of spurious edges. We estimated a network in a trimming sample (N=1343, 63% females, M _age = 53.18, SD _age = 9.45) and in an estimation sample (N=726, 75% females, M _age = 45.27, SD _age = 11.12) to examine its performance and accuracy. Our final network
