Note to Journalists

Before contacting Dr. Diener for an interview, you should read some of his papers. If you do not have access to these papers, please contact his secretary Mrs.Debrah Dexter (see photo) and she can mail them to you.

Dr. Diener's research is at the basic scientific level. Thus, much of his work is technical and is therefore not readily translatable into "how to be happy." Dr. Diener is willing to discuss what he does know about happiness, but is unwilling to make conjectures about questions about which he does not have data.

If you are hoping to discuss questions of subjective well-being with Dr. Diener, please allow sufficient time to make arrangements. Last minute rush jobs are not greeted with enthusiasm.
