    Weniger Amerikaner sagen, dass sie „sehr glücklich“ sind als noch vor 50 Jahren. [OC]


    Ich habe diese Visualisierung erstellt, um zu sehen, wie viele Amerikaner sagen, dass sie glücklich sind. Die Datenquelle ist die General Social Survey von NORC. Die Visualisierung wurde in Tableau erstellt. Eine interaktive Version finden Sie auf meine Webseite.

      More concerning, I think, is the inversion of the happiness chart over the last 10 years or so, that is unusual.

      American kids happiness levels is at Saudi Arabia levels, which is highly unusual.

      Super interesting that the people who are „not too happy“ effectively stole their numbers from the „very happy“ group.

      Would have expected the change to come primarily from „pretty happy“ people falling into the „not too happy“ group.

      Edit: also strange seeing the „very happy“ peak at the height of the Vietnam war and severe inflation

      Exponentially increasing visibility into what others have and what you’ll never get, no matter how much you try will do that, even without short term political garbage.

      I’d be interested to hear theories as to why. I would venture to guess that standard of living was higher than it was 50 years ago. If I had to guess, it’s the current economic divide. Comparison is the thief of joy.

      It’s interesting that the „pretty happy“ people are so much more stable percentage wise than the rest. Then again the choices seem biased towards happiness to me.

      What does “not too happy” mean? It’s kind of an odd category. “I’m just sort of vaguely, you know, — not unhappy, but I could probably be happier.”

      Did anyone say that they were, in fact, too happy?

      It’s interesting that “eh I’m okay” has been pretty much consistent over time.

      My guess its related to the lifestyle changes many people had with COVID, and people becoming terminally online.
