{"title":"The relationship of happiness and sport","authors":"B. Frey, A. Gullo","doi":"10.4324/9781003080824-21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003080824-21","url":null,"abstract":"An informal inquiry among a considerable number of friends and acquaintances reveals a clear picture. When asked which relationship between happiness and sport is relevant to them, almost all of them immediately answered: “Doing sport raises happiness.” They pointed out that engaging in sport is good for health because it strengthens the body; induces people to enjoy fresh air; has a welcome disciplining function; and most importantly sets into motion chemical processes in the body bolstering satisfaction with life, thus increasing happiness. But is this really true? One could also argue that the causation goes into the opposite direction: Healthy – and therefore happier – people are able to engage in sport. Persons in ill health are unable, or unwilling, to do so. Hence, greater happiness leads people to do more sport, and not the other way round. Both directions of causation make sense, and they may exist at the same time. But it may also hold that only one of them applies, while the other does not. In this chapter, we make an effort to empirically inquire whether doing sport makes people happy, or whether happy people do more sport. It must immediately be stressed that it is most difficult, and in many cases impossible, to empirically identify the two causal links, i.e., to clearly separate the two countervailing inf luences. Our results should therefore be taken cautiously. More extensive and better data are needed to reach a satisfactory answer. In particular, it would be good to have more precise data on what kind of sport activity people engage in. The econometric estimates1 indicate that persons actively doing sport report higher happiness than those who do no sport. We find that this correlation between sport and reported subjective well-being is substantial. The more often people engage in sport, the higher the positive correlation with happiness. This result suggests that engagement in sport and happiness are directly related, and not only – as many people think – via the effect on physical health. In the causal analysis, we find that both directions of inf luence matter: Sport inf luences happiness in a strongly positive manner, while happiness has a smaller positive impact on engaging in sport.

Its importance stems from its capacity to transform the answer to a question relating to the likelihood that if a point is won, it will have been preceded by a first service (the probability that if the theory is true, the data will be observed) to an answer to a more interesting and relevant question: if the first serve is good, what is the probability that the point will be won (the probability that if the data is observed, the theory will be true)? Empirical flesh is put on Bayes’ theorem by studying the performance of the winners of the men’s and women’s singles titles at the 2019 French Open: Rafael Nadal and Ashleigh Barty. Whatever the prior likelihood that they would win a point on their service game, this had to be revised upward for both players if the data showed that their first serve was ‘good’ and had to revised downward if the point required that they serve again. On the assumption that the prior probability was 60%, this then allows the analyst to deduce that the probability of winning a point on the first service was 65.9% for Barty and 73.8% for Nadal. Similarly, it could be deduced that the probability of winning a point on the second service was 34.1% for Barty and 26.2% for Nadal. The contribution of the paper lies in applying Bayes’ Theorem to show how, in service games in tennis, evidence can be turned into insight.","PeriodicalId":434039,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Sports Economics","volume":"61 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126614194","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}
