KAHNEMAN-STUDIET (Dansk)
I 2004 offentliggjorde Daniel Kahneman og kolleger en undersøgelse, der viste, at vi er mest lykkelige, når vi dyrker sex. Undersøgelsen blev foretaget blandt 909 kvinder i Texas, som skulle vurdere deres humør i løbet af dagen. De skulle også angive, hvad de lavede på forskellige tidspunkter af dagen. Resultaterne viste, at sex var den aktivitet, der gav mest lykke og tilfredshed. På andenpladsen kom socialt samvær med venner og familie.
Undersøgelsen viste også, at arbejde og pendling var de aktiviteter, der gav mindst lykke. Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at selvom mange mennesker bruger en stor del af deres tid på arbejde og pendling, så er det ikke disse aktiviteter, der bidrager mest til vores lykke.
Kahnemans studie har haft stor indflydelse på forskningen inden for positiv psykologi og har været med til at sætte fokus på betydningen af daglige aktiviteter for vores velbefindende.
THE KAHNEMAN STUDY (English)
In 2004 Daniel Kahneman and colleagues published a study showing that we are happiest when we have sex. The study was conducted among 909 women in Texas who were asked to rate their mood throughout the day. They were also asked to indicate what they were doing at different times of the day. The results showed that sex was the activity that gave the most happiness and satisfaction. Socializing with friends and family came in second place.
The study also showed that work and commuting were the activities that gave the least happiness. It is remarkable that although many people spend a large part of their time working and commuting, these are not the activities that contribute most to our happiness.
Kahneman's study has had a major impact on research in positive psychology and has helped to focus on the importance of daily activities for our well-being.
