Happiness in the Context of European Human Values

Abstract

When we think about our values, we think about what is important in our lives (security, independence, wisdom, success, goodness, pleasure). This article has as its starting point the assumption that happiness is the result of manifestation of human values. The first part deals with the concept of human values, and the second part is focused on the analysis of secondary sources (data obtained from the investigation conducted by the European Social Survey). Data was retrieved and processed by me in Excel, and SPSS. In order to test research hypotheses correlation was used. To support the argument we used a series of tables and representative images.
