How’s your mood?
For an interesting attempt to measure cause and effect try Mappiness, a project run by the London School of Economics, which offers a phone app that prompts you to record your mood and situation.
The Mappiness website says: ‘Were particularly interested in how peoples happiness is affected by their local environment air pollution, noise, green spaces, and so on — which the data from Mappiness will be absolutely great for investigating.”
Will it work? With enough people, it might. But there are other problems. We’ve been using happiness and well-being interchangeably. Is that ok? The difference comes out in a sentiment like: “We were happier during the war.’ But was ourwell-being also greater then?
