The Relationship Between Global and Domain-Specific Evaluations of Life Satisfaction: A Feedback Loop Theory.
Article in Journal of personality, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePrevious studies on the relationship between global (top-down) and domain-specific (bottom-up) evaluations of life satisfaction have revealed mixed findings. The current study investigated the reciprocal relationship between top-down and bottom-up processes using two analytic methods to properly account for time-varying predictors, confounding variables, and stable individual differences. Specifically, hierarchical Bayesian continuous-time dynamic modeling and marginal structural models were employed.
methodData from the Swiss Household Panel study (N = 25,181)-a nationally representative, longitudinal survey conducted in Switzerland-was used. Global life satisfaction was measured using the Satisfaction With Life Scale. Satisfaction with five life domains (i.e., health, income, personal relationships, free time, and job) was also measured.
resultsA series of marginal structural models revealed that subsequent global life satisfaction was predicted by each domain-specific evaluation, and prior global life satisfaction also predicted each domain-specific evaluation. Continuous-time dynamic modeling revealed that an independent shock of magnitude 1.00 to the top-down process predicted future increases in the bottom-up process, and vice versa.
conclusionsTaken together, the findings of this study can be represented by a closed-loop feedback model, which illustrates predictive effects between top-down and bottom-up processes.
