    In the published manuscript, the heading levels in the results section are incorrect. Currently, many of the subheaders (i.e. enjoying activities with others or by themselves) are formatted the same way as the overarching header of “Everyday sources of happiness,” when the subheaders should all be formatted the same way that “Social partners and interactions eliciting happiness” is printed. The heading levels should be as followed:

Everyday Sources of Happiness

Social Partners and Interactions Eliciting Happiness

Enjoying Activities with Others or by Themselves

Pets as Companions

Achievement or Accomplishment

Participation in Events

Job Prospects, Satisfaction, and Support

Everyday Sources of Unhappiness

Social Partners Eliciting Unhappiness

Negative Social Interactions

Current Events

Employment-related Issues Causing Distress

Negative Emotional Experiences and Poor Mental and Physical Health
