COMMENTARY     

Unhappy yet satisfied
23rd June 2005
James, I am not sure if I trust either the happiness index or the satisfaction index, especially after hearing that there is no correlation between the two. I'd like to see how the World Values Survey overcomes the obstacle of keeping a constant definition of "happiness" and "satisfaction" across all languages. Perhaps the Icelandic word for "happiness" translates to the Slovak word for "hundred potatoes". While many Icelandic people are happy, few Slovaks have 100 potatoes.
