商品描述
Everybody wants to know what makes people happy. Artistic takes on the topic in literature, popular songs and cinema are widespread, but not terribly helpful. Psychological accounts are mostly about how to avoid unhappiness. So who actually is happy, and why? This book offers real answers from the real world of American society. Their source is the General Social Survey, a scientific poll of Americans offering some five decades of state-of-the-art data. An additional enhancement is a set of qualitative interviews commissioned by the author adding depth to the extraordinary breadth of the GSS. The approach of the book is distinctly sociological. Are married Americans happier than unmarried Americans? Does social class matter? How about college? The answers lie within this wide and deep dive into happiness in America.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
每個人都想知道什麼讓人快樂。文學、流行歌曲和電影中對這個主題的藝術性詮釋隨處可見，但並不太有幫助。心理學的解釋大多集中在如何避免不快樂上。那麼，究竟誰是快樂的，為什麼呢？這本書提供了來自美國社會真實世界的真實答案。其資料來源是全國社會調查（General Social Survey），這是一項針對美國人的科學調查，提供了近五十年的先進數據。作者委託的一組質性訪談進一步增強了GSS的廣度和深度。這本書的研究方法明顯具有社會學特徵。已婚的美國人是否比未婚的美國人更快樂？社會階層是否重要？大學教育又如何？答案隱藏在這本對美國快樂的廣泛而深入的探討中。
