Thinking Critically about Happiness Questionnaires


1- I think that if people will use these date collection tools honestly, they will be valid scientific tools. Otherwise people can lie about their feelings, the results of these scientific studies will be false. Moreover, i believe that people cannot explain their feelings but they can show them. So i think that this is not valid way to find out if people are happy or not.

2- I believe that if I did the online survey again, my results will be different because I think these kind of surveys do not show our feeling in long period of time. But it show our feelings at the moment. So I do not think that scientists should do these kind of surveys to see if people are happy in their life or not.

3- I think the second way to find out people's happiness is better for a large group of people because everything can be done automatically by using computers. But they should make studies on the questions to make it easy to people to answer honestly. This way is better and easier.
