After decades of research, Edward Diener came to the conclusion that money has a causal influence on our "subjective states"?

Yes, but not before he got tenure at the U of IL.

Quote:
Perhaps the most eager explorer of this terrain was University of Illinois psychologist Edward Diener, a.k.a. Dr. Happiness. For more than two decades, basically ever since he got tenure and could risk entering an unfashionable field, Diener had been examining what does and does not make people feel satisfied with life.

That's reassuring, I suppose. I certainly wouldn't trust an amateur scholar with such a controversial and engimatic matter.
