And the study simply asked people if they were happy. Some cultures may be more conservative than others. Ask TBs in the Domes if they are happy, and its for research, their answers will go through the roof. As their lives, of some, fall through the floor. Economists have long preferred, "revealed preferences" -- studying actions that demonstrate opinion/beliefs/preferences -- knowing clearly via research that people often don't say what they really feel/do. Phsychology, sociology etc have their own similar take on this phenomenon. Perhaps, though not necessarily, Danes are more deluded, less in touch with their real feelings, are more prone to pleasing people, pollsters and parents, are better deceivers, or love more than others to f*ck with pollsters. Looking at alcoholism, domestic violence, suicide rates, hard-drug addiction (vs use), obesity, etc, melded into a happiness index, would be a least a good compliment to, if not superior to, verbal reports.
