Hedonometrics

Hedonometrics is the study and measurement of happiness or well-being across individuals, groups, or societies. It involves analyzing data—such as surveys, social media content, or economic indicators—to gauge general life satisfaction, emotional states, or quality of life. By quantifying happiness, researchers can identify trends, assess the impact of policies, and compare different populations. This approach helps understand what factors contribute to well-being and supports decision-making aimed at improving overall life quality in a systematic, data-driven way.
