Abstract
We present a novel measure of lay definitions of happiness and intentions to pursue happiness in everyday life. Results suggest 9 factors (e.g. tranquility, belonging, luck) and provide support for reliability and validity of the scales. Relationships between the factors and with intentions for everyday life are discussed.
