- Abstract
The aim of the study was to conduct an experiment to examine if participation in a 4-week program, during which time the participants carry out happiness enhancing activities, will boost the level of happiness scores. The study included 145 respondents (control group n = 75, experimental group n = 70) aged 18 to 74 years. Measurements from both groups with the Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) were obtained before and after participation in the study. The results of the study in showed statistically significant, positive changes in Subjective Happiness Scale scores after participation in the happiness program for the experimental group. This suggests that participation in the happiness enhancing program has raised the level of subjective happiness. There were no statistically significant changes in the Subjective Happiness Scale scores for the control group.
