| Abstract: | The article explores the concept of happiness and its cultural variations. It highlights that the pursuit of happiness is primarily valued in Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies, while other cultures may prioritize different aspects of well-being. The article also discusses the potential drawbacks of actively pursuing happiness and suggests that psychological richness and a sense of meaning in life may be important factors for overall well-being. The research emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural perspectives and individual differences when studying happiness and well-being. [Extracted from the article] |
