| Description | Positive psychology is a rapidly expanding movement in contemporary psychology which focuses mainly on positive aspects of life. In this paper we present the results of a study revealing some relations of percieved happiness on societal level. An analysis of data from the ISSP database collected from a sample of Czech population (N = 1512) in 2008 shows that happier people have more confidence in other people, in the education system and government bodies and believe that their life is meaningful. The average rate of happiness in citizens of the Czech Republic in 2008, compared to measurements done 10 years ago, has statistically significantly decreased. |
