The literature on happiness abounds with evidence suggesting that good social relations are essential for one’s happiness and that happier individuals are more socially oriented. However, there is a dearth of research on people’s valuations of such relational experiences. The present study investigates the relationship between happiness and the value ascribed to interpersonal and social …

오혜원. (2015). The relationship between happiness and perception of purchases: Experiential versus material. 서울대 석사학위논문.
최근 많은 연구들을 통해 경험 구매 (경험하기 위한 소비)가 물질 구매 (소유하기 위한 소비)에 비해 행복에 더 유리하다는 것이 밝혀져 왔으나, 아직 경험/물질 구매의 구분에 대해서는 해결되지 않은 문제들이 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 경험 구매와 물질 구매 사이의 애매한 경계에 대한 두 가지 질문들을 다루고자 한다. 첫째, 행복한 사람일수록 같은 구매라도 더 경험재에 가깝게 인식하는가? 둘째, …
Choi, J., Catapano, R., &Choi, I. (2017). Taking stock of happiness and meaning in everyday life: An experience sampling approach.
The present study examines momentary experiences of happiness and meaning, two components of well-being, by using an experience sampling method. Participants included 603 Korean adults, who generated 24,430 responses over the course of 2–4 weeks. Results revealed that reported levels of happiness and meaning fluctuated substantially over the course of a day and that contextual …
Lucas, R. E. (2007). Adaptation and the set-point model of subjective well-being: Does happiness change after major life events?. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 16(2), 75-79.
Hedonic adaptation refers to the process by which individuals return to baseline levels of happiness following a change in life circumstances. Dominant models of subjective well-being (SWB) suggest that people can adapt to almost any life event and that happiness levels fluctuate around a biologically determined set point that rarely changes. Recent evidence from large-scale …
Kwon, Y., Choi, E., Choi, J., & Choi, I. (2018). Discrepancy Regarding Self, Family, and Country and Well-Being: The Critical Role of Self and Cultural Orientation.
Previous research on self-discrepancy has mainly focused on the discrepancy between the actual and ideal or ought state at the personal level, and how they relate to well-being with little attention to the discrepancy regarding the family and country, which may also be very relevant to one’s well-being in a more collectivistic culture. The present …
Kim, J., et al. (2016). Companion Versus Comparison: Examining Seeking Social Companionship or Social Comparison as Characteristics That Differentiate Happy and Unhappy People.
Which friend do you want to spend time with—a happy friend who performs better than you or an unhappy friend who performs worse than you? The present research demonstrates that in such conflicting situations, when the desires for companionship and comparison are pitted against each other, one’s level of happiness plays an important role in …
Kang, P., Lee, Y., Choi, I., & Kim, H. (2013). Neural evidence for individual and cultural variability in the social comparison effect. Journal of Neuroscience, 33(41), 16200-16208.
Although several studies have investigated the neural mechanism of social comparison, it remains unclear whether and how cultural membership, particularly independent versus interdependent cultures, may differentially shape the neural processes underlying social comparison. In the present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we examined the behaviors and neural response patterns of Korean (i.e., interdependent culture) …
Lamberton, C. (2013). A spoonful of choice: How allocation increases satisfaction with tax payments. Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, 32(2), 223-238.
How can tax payment be made more satisfying? The author focuses on the low volition and collective nature of tax-funded benefits as primary causes of low satisfaction with tax payment. Three studies suggest that allowing people to allocate a small portion (in the present research, 10%) of their payment across budgets provided by the billing …

We explored cultural and historical variations in concepts of happiness. First, we analyzed the definitions of happiness in dictionaries from 30 nations to understand cultural similarities and differences in happiness concepts. Second, we analyzed the definition of happiness in Webster’s dictionaries from 1850 to the present day to understand historical changes in American English. Third, …
Watson, D., Clark, L. A., & Tellegen, A. (1988). Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: the PANAS scales.
In recent studies of the structure of affect, positive and negative affect have consistently emerged as two dominant and relatively independent dimensions. A number of mood scales have been created to measure these factors; however, many existing measures are inadequate, showing low reliability or poor convergent or discriminant validity. To fill the need for reliable …
