Thinking Critically about Happiness Questionnaires



I found your question about if the data collection is valid or not is a hard question. because there are many reason. First, I can imagine the idea of the measurement I mean how they can measure the feeling! I think the only way to see how person is happy or not is by living with him ((we believe what we see around us)). Furthermore, they compare my result for example with others like my age esc.. but I’m sure that there are some people who took this question not serious. so I don’t see that the result is 100% correct. I can say that it will be valid if all people take it seriously and do it face to face and not on the internet. Using data collection online is not a successful method to measure the happiness.

2- Yeah I’m 100% sure that the result will be different because the result is temporary.

3- As I say before, using the internet to study such thing like feeling is not right. It should be organized by experts with a good simple question to take the study more seriously and to have a good result. In my opinion this is a good way to measure happiness.
