Abstract

Happiness is highly valued in society. In this study, participants (n=299) filled out the Subjective Happiness Scales and received life-logging cameras. Later, they sorted pictures from the cameras into situations and rated each on Authenticity, Self-esteem, and Happiness. Subjective happiness strongly predicted all three of these in-the-moment experienced outcomes.
