 Life satisfaction surveys were also believed to be subject to order effects. If a participant is asked a global life satisfaction question and then asked about his romantic life, the correlation between these questions tends to be near zero, but if the participant is asked the dating question first, the correlation tends to be high and positive (Strack, Martin &amp; Schwarz 1988). Relatedly, weather and life-satisfaction were correlated when subjects were asked about weather first, but not when the weather question followed the life-satisfaction query (Schwarz &amp; Clore 1983). Recent work has however cast doubts on this kind of results: Schimmack and Oishi (2005) did not replicate Strack et al.’s (1988) findings and Lucas and Lawless (2013) found no evidence for an effect of weather on life-satisfaction judgments (but see Connolly  2013).[12]  Recent surveys suggest that the instability of life satisfaction surveys, which some philosophers have been taken for granted, has been exaggerated (Lucas 2018).
