ISQOLS 2021 CONFERENCE
“Quality-of-life and Adaptation in a Virulent World”
VIRTUAL EVENT
AUGUST 2021
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
15 FEBRUARY 2021
Given the uncertainty of the current global pandemic, travel restrictions, and planning challenges the 2021 ISQOLS Annual Conference will be held virtually in August 2021 (specific dates to be announced). The ISQOLS 2021 Conference will offer a forum for discussion of the research findings concerning quality of life, well-being, and happiness, similar to all of our past, in-person conferences.
The theme of the Conference is “quality-of-life and adaptation in a virulent world”. The world has changed dramatically in the past year. How do we now examine quality-of-life, wellbeing, and happiness? What are the challenges and opportunities for well-being research and policy in the face of a global pandemic? What important work is being carried out to encourage personal, communal, environmental, and social resiliency in a Covid-19 world? We invite researchers, practitioners, students, professionals, faculty, retirees, experts and novices to participate and engage in this virtual event.
- Paper abstract submissions deadline is 15 February 2021

COVID-19 and Quality of Life: Twelve Reflections
Authored by ISQOLS member: Daniel T. L. Shek
COVID-19 has severely affected the word since December 2020. Because of its sudden onset and highly contagious nature, the world has responded in a "crisis management" manner. With effective vaccines almost available, it is appropriate at this time to have some reflections about COVID-19 in relation to the quality of life issues.

Cross-sectional model-building for research on subjective well-being: gaining clarity on control variables
Authored by ISQOLS member: David Bartram
Happiness/well-being researchers who use quantitative analysis often do not give persuasive reasons why particular variables should be included as controls in their cross-sectional models. One commonly sees notions of a “standard set” of controls, or the “usual suspects”, etc. These notions are not coherent and can lead to results that are significantly biased with respect to a genuine causal relationship.

Happiness Goal Orientations and their Associations with Well-Being
Authored by ISQOLS member: Julia Krasko
Previous research has provided contradicting findings on whether valuing and pursuing happiness is beneficial or detrimental to one’s level of well-being. These contradicting findings might be resolved by considering these so-called Happiness Goal Orientations(HGO) as a multidimensional construct.

FORTHEM
Fostering Outreach within European Regions, Transnational Higher Education and Mobility
FORTHEM consists of multidisciplinary public research universities that are situated (all but one) outside the capital regions and are not among the largest nor highest-ranking universities in their countries. Although based on both university-wide and field-specific bilateral and trilateral cooperation, it is a new network of institutions that have the dynamism and flexibility to experiment new innovative forms of collaboration. Thereby, FORTHEM presents a reproducible model for both European and non-European universities that wish to develop similar new alliances.
