“During your day yesterday, did you laugh? Were you worried? Were you sad? Were you angry? Have you felt joy, stress, gratitude? “ two weeks ago,” L’Observateur “you offered in partnership with the think tank citizen Fabrique Spinoza, calculated in minutes your own index happiness .
Since Friday, April 29, it is now possible to compare this index, which is in the form of a score of 10, with the figures of the first barometer ITBF * (quarterly indicator of happiness French) performed at the national level, including a new edition will be published quarterly in parallel to GDP figures.
simply answer the questions below, which focus on your emotional feelings and your outlook on life, your environment and domestic situation. Your personal answers remain anonymous and have no vocation to complete the study or to be broadcast.
The elderly more fulfilled
So happy? Rather, according to this first version of the ITBF. the French will appear generally satisfied with their living environment and their social links. They are highly satisfied with their housing (81% satisfied 53% very satisfied people) and quite happy (79%) of their environment (nature, beauty, calm), although some complained of the pollution (43% ). They value their social connection site (72%): their family, their social life, and people who rely on
for Spinoza Foundation, more” virtuous psychological mechanisms “were noted at national level: the French say predominantly” knowledge where they want to go in life “(69%), but also” what makes them happy “(80%) have also a good” self-knowledge “(59%) and even feel” opening on what can happen “(61%) – even if only a minority put forward their adaptability (39%).
The happiness index of French reached 5.9 / 10 for the first barometer. A score that conceals large disparities:
– 28% of French get a note 8 to 10, and even 7% between 9 and 10
– 18% really say unhappy (between 0 and 3) and 3% even get a note at between 0 and 1
the results also highlight the inequalities between population groups … and even go in the direction of some ideas:
– elderly people (66 and over) say happier ( 6.2 / 10 ) that less than 24 years ( 5 , 7/10 ); the declarative happiness also increases proportionally earnings 5.3 / 10 ( less than 9,000 euros per year) for the poorest 6.4 / 10 for the wealthiest ( more than 60,000 euros ). “Money does not buy happiness but it helps” …
– The difference is not significant gender. It should nevertheless be noted that in general, men have a better opinion of themselves as women. They say they feel safer, more serene and optimistic. Women feel for their more tired, stressed and worried about their professional future. They also say less surrounded by family and friends, emit more frequently “ regrets ” compared to the choices made, tend to more rehashing painful memories.
– Geographically, the differences are less marked: Southwest inhabitants say the happiest ( 6.1 / 10 )
– In general, the survey reveals a lot of fatigue, defiance and longing among the French population. Even if they feel predominantly positive emotions (laughing, smiling, happy, joy, calm), a majority say indeed be tired (57% were the day before) and sleep restlessly (53% in the previous week). 41% of them say they do not take enough time to appreciate what they do.
“Among the list of emotions, feelings and states the following, tell us all those you have experienced in the day yesterday (10/10 for all the time, not for 0/10) “
– If a minority say they are” worried “of terrorism (1 of 3), many are instead still affected by the attacks the past year (47% are “less happy” than before the attacks)
-. the French are more likely to assess their positively past life (65%) that their future life (56%). Thus, half view the past with regret or pandering (51%), and consider the world’s future with pessimism (60%). There are many (43%) to feel a certain resignation and a lack of personal freedom, stating that they have little sense of being free and able to influence what happens to them
. – cause and effect? With an index of 5.7 / 10 , supporters of the National Front and the non-party affiliation ( 5.9 / 10 ) are distanced by the sympathizers other political parties, which are between 6.1 and 6.2 / 10.
happiness political issue
Factory eminently political objective of Spinoza is displayed: “Understanding why people are happy or not” and ” move that really matters. “
” in France, the political decision-making are essentially oriented economy and GDP. But this is only one dimension measuring health status of a company, “says to” Obs “its founder, Alexander Jost.
” the state of a country is measured primarily in terms of what its citizens live and not only of what they produce;. growth or stagnation of GDP is not necessarily synonymous with progress or decline, “says the foundation
Thus, traffic jams and spills paradoxically generate increased economic activity in a region or country … But not for his welfare. And Alexander Jost hopes to attract the attention of the political class with this new tool.
“It will be a compass, in real time or virtually, allowing us to know where we are and where we lead the political or economic decision-makers, “argues the young entrepreneur. “The idea is not to be compared with other countries, but to see if they progress up the ladder of happiness.”
* Study conducted on a representative sample of the population with 1,001 French, aged 18 and older, interviewed online (CAWI) from 1 to 7 April 2016, according to the methodology of quotas.
