A question that has engaged philosophers from the days of Aristotle, happiness is a subject of growing academic interest, and its recent integration into government policy is provoking increased debate into its definition and nature. Sandie McHugh and her associates build on the work of social anthropologist Tom Harrison?s ?Worktown? Mass Observation study from 1938, repeating the original study today. Together these accounts show how perceptions of happiness have changed over the years for the people of Bolton, UK, and reveal major difference between its definition then and now. This unique study is a useful tool in the understanding and study of happiness, offering invaluable insights for scholars and practitioners working in the fields of social psychology, positive psychology, health psychology and wellbeing. . 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aClinical health psychology 606 $aPersonality 606 $aDifference (Psychology) 606 $aCommunity psychology 606 $aSociology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aHealth Psychology 606 $aPersonality and Differential Psychology 606 $aCommunity Psychology 606 $aSociological Theory 606 $aUrban Sociology 615 0$aClinical health psychology. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aDifference (Psychology) 615 0$aCommunity psychology. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aHealth Psychology. 615 24$aPersonality and Differential Psychology. 615 24$aCommunity Psychology. 615 24$aSociological Theory. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 676 $a158 702 $aMcHugh$b Sandie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254804503321 996 $aThe Changing Nature of Happiness$91571047 997 $aUNINA
