Earning More Than Peer – The Secret Of Happiness
Christopher
Boyce,
from
the
Department
of
Psychology
confirms
that
it
does
not
matter
how
much
wealth
people
make.
All
that
matters
is
a
better
financial
status
than
fellow
mates.
The finding apparently takes from the concept of "doing better than the Joneses," which is common among children. For example, a toy gets ditched as soon as a new toy in the hands of another child is spotted.
But Boyce insists that the same feeling is true for adults too. He added: "You might buy a new car. But if your neighbor has just bought the very same car, that new car doesn't seem as good as it once was if you were the only one to have that car."
The conclusion is based on the research done on more than 80,000 participants rated how dissatisfied or satisfied overall. When the reason for their satisfaction and dissatisfaction were examined it was revealed that it rested on the higher or lower income than friends.
The underlying thing is that of comparison. One compares oneself with people around and wants to be in an higher position.
Boyce said: "It's about having more than everyone else, which is why our nations are not increasing in happiness on average.Our study underlines concerns regarding the pursuit of economic growth. There are fixed amounts of rank in society - only one individual can be the highest earner. Thus, pursuing economic growth, although it remains a key political goal, might not make people any happier."
