General well-being is known to deteriorate sharply at the end of life.

We examined how discrete affective states (happy, angry, fearful, sad) and…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Nagengast, Benjamin; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Parada, Roberto H.; Craven, Rhonda G.; Hamilton, Linda R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
