It draws on a definition of happiness that suggests wellbeing is a collaborative practice and illustrates the methods used to map the life histories of interviewees and their webs of relationships. Two biographies of women reveal narratives that suggest patterns of wellbeing emerging from social networks structured through class and gender relationships. Early life events and the women’s creativity and resourcefulness point to the significance of biographies for an understanding of wellbeing across the life course. The chapter employs concepts from Bourdieu to analyse the structuring of wellbeing and how people’s interpretations and actions informed the quality of their lives showing the ebb and flow of happiness as people age.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"13 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120838226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ‘disapproval addiction’ seriously inhibits our ability to understand and foster the social goods that make happiness possible. Instead of focusing mainly on social pathologies, we could instead cultivate more deliberately appreciative and aspirational approaches to social qualities. Appreciation and positive promotion of happiness and social goods could then become our core concern. This chapter proposes the deliberate and explicit adoption of a ‘happiness lens’ in social scholarship and planning so as to emphasise positivity, empathy, and integrative linkages between life domains through the life course. This lens is used to explore different kinds of claim to foster ‘social progress’: remedial; preventive; provisional; and ultimately genuine moral progress. It is proposed that this could make our social learning strategies more appreciative and our social plans more aspirational and uplifting. Conversely, and more provocatively, it is argued that we cannot claim to be ‘ethical’, or ‘progressive’, or even ‘politically engaged’ if we don’t make happiness an explicit and central concern in social research and social planning. Overall, these arguments are intended to highlight the ‘disruptive’ potential of a happiness lens.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133592966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A particular focus is the digitisation of this heritage. There is no one model of how cultural heritage can be used just as there is no one form of digital communications and different communities approach their heritage in different ways. We analyse important factors such as local ownership and control of heritage and its repercussions for the wellbeing of the communities. Given the isolation of rural communities, digital communications are particularly important for linking communities with the outside world and community members with each other. We illustrate how cultural heritage provides a sense of identity as well as economic benefits through tourism. In particular, the chapter examines the challenges of community-based research into wellbeing and how best to theorise quality of life in different community settings.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"613 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123324914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter explores 200 accounts of happiness, generated through a 2013 Mass Observation directive, that provide a nuanced picture of happiness in the UK. The research found that when individuals talk about their happiness they mainly talk about their personal lives: their relationships and social and cultural engagements. Conversely, when they talk about unhappiness they often focus on social and political factors. This more socially and politically engaged aspect to lay happiness accounts highlights problems with conceptualizing and measuring a country’s happiness as the aggregate of individual self-reports; it also underlines the importance of adopting a qualitative, interpretivist approach in capturing the complex ways in which individuals think about happiness in relation to themselves and their wider social context. The opportunities and challenges of utilising the Mass Observation Archive as a resource for happiness researchers are also addressed.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123424337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter offers insight that scholars might find useful when considering the body and embodiment in their own work. It also offers a cautionary tale to remind happiness researchers of the need for personal vigilance throughout the research process, as deepening insight about wellbeing coexists within the current parameters of one’s own life, and can therefore further sensitize/problematize one’s own wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129962180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PTG developed through a recognition that, despite hardships and stressors, most people remain quite resilient. In fact, people often report that certain life domains have even grown because of that hardship. To demonstrate PTG among refugees and asylum seekers, I draw on ethnographic fieldwork from the Gambia and the UK. Three life domains in particular are highlighted in participants’ narratives. These are spirituality, new possibilities and changed relationships. By applying this concept of PTG to refugees and asylum seekers, I elucidate the ‘good’ in their lives and describe how they are continually striving for happiness and well-being.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131254117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methodology was tested in semi-structured interviews with 23 men and women in Japan. Interviews consisted of three parts: (a) word association, (b) in-depth conversation on happiness issues using a bullseye structured chart, together with tokens for visualization of factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and (c) three written quantitative questions on happiness, followed up by in-depth discussion thereafter. Findings suggest that happiness is an interpretative process, embedded in social networks and across personal biographies. Furthermore, happiness proves to be multidimensional, and the relevance of life domains varies by life-course stage and is influenced by numerous life circumstances. Mapping happiness across multiple domains by using visual props allows to get closer to a more holistic understanding of subjective wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":311525,"journal":{"name":"Researching Happiness","volume":"22 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132192796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
