This article presents a way of thinking about the lifelong stability of psychological well-being in dynamical terms. The reciprocal causality of well-being and its correlates is estimated by a structural equation model for panel data from Social Diagnosis, a survey conducted in Poland in 2000, 2003, and 2005, with more than 18 thousand respondents examined during this time and 5724 respondents examined in all three waves of the program. Psychological well-being is understood as a kind of performance indicator for a dynamic adaptation system. Self-regulation quality is derived from characteristics of the system of causal interrelations in which well-being is involved. It is posited that self-regulation of well-being could be mediated by patterns of resource expenditure in the processes of coping. Implications for possibilities of lasting change in psychological well-being are discussed.

This article focuses on the role of need for cognitive closure in the process of mental model creation about social relations (i.e. social cliques). We assumed that high (vs. low) need for closure participants tend to rely on background category information when forming social cliques. We predicted that this tendency to employ categorical information as a mental aid, used in order to form social cliques, would be efficient in simple task structures (where category information overlaps with the mental model structure) but would lead to increased error rates in complex task structures (where category information is inconsistent with the model structure). The results confirmed our predictions, showing especially strong effects for the decisiveness component of need for closure. The importance of individual differences in need for closure and decisiveness in social reasoning is discussed.
