Looking at our happiness experiment we can summarize what we earned in three points: It’s clear that
we can investigate happiness by putting together vignettes and having people respond. People clearly differentiate
the different vignettes. There are certainly differences among the elements. The big players are job loss and
salary. Happiness versus salary is fairly flat. Happiness/unhappiness versus job loss is fairly steep. Money may
not lead to happiness, but job stability probably does.
