The present study aimed to understand the subjective perception of happiness among Indian participants from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Through individual interviews, the study found that happiness for Indians is multidimensional, encompassing feelings and expressions, human ties, satisfaction with material needs, lifestyle and health, work and play, accomplishment and appreciation, nature connectedness, religious and spiritual beliefs, and the personal responsibility of happiness.
The present study aimed at understanding the subjective perception of happiness in a sample of Indian participants from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Using convenience sampling, individual interviews were conducted with 60 participants aged between 19 to 73 years (M Age = 40 years). This study employed reflexive thematic analysis to analyse the written transcripts. Nine themes were generated which captured the essence of happiness for Indians-Feelings and Expressions of Happiness; Human Ties and Happiness which encompassed four sub-themes-family bond, the company one keeps, the pandemic and social disengagement, and the nation, society and happiness; Satisfaction with Material Needs and Resources; Lifestyle and Health; Work and Play; Accomplishment and Appreciation; Nature Connectedness; Religious and Spiritual beliefs; and Happiness as a Personal responsibility-Role of Positive Personality Traits. These findings revealed our respondent's multidimensional conceptualization of happiness, and adds to the growing body of happiness literature from the South Asian context.
