Happiness, subjective and objective indicators

Michela Guerini and Giampaolo Nuvolati

Chapter 18 in Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Happiness and Quality of Life, 2016, pp 400-418 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The understanding of the concept of happiness brings light to a multiple theoretical framework composed of different approaches that are not always rightly considered or well known. This chapter aims at resuming the differentiation in happiness studies and proposes the identification of subjective and objective indicators of happiness that maintain the multiple distinction existing in theory. The conclusion highlights the necessity for a coexistence of approaches to happiness in order to foster a more solid and complete knowledge on this particular subject.
