Kelly, Ph.D. (Associate Professor of Psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College) are replicating Diener et al. (2010) study to validate that income has an effect on the happiness of people or their feelings. **Abstract** The Gallup World Poll, the first representative sample of planet Earth, was used to explore the reasons why happiness is associated with higher income, including the meeting of basic needs, fulfillment of psychological needs, increasing satisfaction with one's standard of living, and public goods. Across the globe, the association of log income with subjective well-being was linear but convex with raw income, indicating the declining marginal effects of income on subjective well-being. Income was a moderately strong predictor of life evaluation but a much weaker predictor of positive and negative feelings. Possessing luxury conveniences and satisfaction with standard of living were also strong predictors of life evaluation. Although the meeting of basic and psychological needs mediated the effects of income on life evaluation to some degree, the strongest mediation was provided by standard of living and ownership of conveniences. In contrast, feelings were most associated with the fulfillment of psychological needs: learning, autonomy, using one's skills, respect, and the ability to count on others in an emergency. Thus, two separate types of prosperity—economic and social psychological—best predict different types of well-being. **Method** This is a direct replication of the original study. There were a few deviations from the original study.We have additional income questions and response options for gender. The original study had response options for gender as- male, female, decline to respond. We will not be planning on examining the income, but we will be including them as part of the overarching CREP project. Our surveys will be sent out to psychology majoring students at Georgia Gwinnett College. We are going to try and get 100 participants. We are completing this as a part of a group project in our Research Methods and Designs course. This study will be conducted online. In the end, we ended up gathering data from 125 participants. Our results demonstrated that the predictors of psychological needs and the combination of luxury conveniences and satisfaction with standard of living, consistently accounted for a significant portion of the variance in the dependent measures. Unmet basic needs and log income did not account for any variance in the dependent measures. **Materials** - Online Survey
