How happy is your life?

In recent years, with the rise of positive psychology in the West, more and more scholars have begun to pay more attention to people’s happiness in life. Studies have found that at the age of 20 to 80, individual subjective happiness gradually decreases as they grow older. In other words, the individual subjective happiness of college students in their 20s should be at a peak. However, in a cross-cultural study on the subjective happiness of college students in 48 countries and regions, the subjective happiness index of college students in China is significantly lower than the average. This may be due to the influence of different cultural environments. Epicurus said: Happiness is the beginning and purpose of life. All our choices start from happiness, and the ultimate goal is also to get happiness! Happiness is the deep measure of social progress. After people transcend the stage of material life, they begin to pay attention to the needs of self-realization. After meeting basic material needs, happiness becomes a more valuable pursuit goal in life, and subjective happiness is an important indicator for judging the level of happiness. Subjective happiness refers to ‘an individual’s overall assessment of his life, including emotional and cognitive aspects’, which is an important indicator for an individual to measure his quality of life and an important area of positive psychology research. As for subjective happiness itself, it mainly involves three variables: life satisfaction, positive emotions and negative emotions. The more people are satisfied with their living conditions and treat everything with positive emotions in life, the higher the experience of subjective happiness will be; otherwise, the lower the experience will be. Happiness is a feeling, a beautiful feeling that transcends the world, and satisfaction, happiness, health, etc. are all happiness. Through this test, you can understand the true meaning of happiness and test your happiness in life!
