For example, angry, mad, and rage are all representative of anger, and cheerful, enjoy, and joy are representative of happiness; by contrast, examples of complex emotion words include helpless (sadness + fear + anxiety) and desire (happiness + anxiety).
For example, facial expressions of happiness (i.e. smiling), have been shown to enhance ratings of attractiveness (Mueser et al., 1984; O'Doherty et al., 2003), particularly for women's faces (Penton-Voak and Changj, 2008).
For example, for happiness-surprise, facial images of happy and surprised expressions were morphed to create a series of pictures ranging across five ratios (90%–10%, 70%–30%, 50%–50%, 30%70%%, and 10%90%%).
For example, the World Database of Happiness, compiled by a Dutch sociologist on the basis of answers to surveys by Gallup and others, lists Costa Rica in the top spot out of 148 nations.
For example, if we think of happiness as a stable trait--if we believe that unhappy people cannot become happier -- then we might be more apt to blame victims for their own unhappiness -- and be less empathetic.
An excellent example of this return is the new psychological science of happiness, represented, for example, by the fundamental work of Edward Diener.
Initial insights were far from shocking: Spending extra time outdoors and getting ample, consistent sleep were among the factors predictive of happiness, for example.
Concrete manifestations of happiness, for example, could be found in personal security and reduced crime rates, enhanced health and declining death rates, broader opportunities for education, the reduction of diseases caused by sewage pollution, and so on.
One example is Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness," where you see the rapper defying gravity in every single shot.
