This volume analyses the quantification of the effect of factors
measuring subjective well-being, and in particular on the metrics
applied. With happiness studies flourishing over the last decades,
both in number of publications as well as in their exposure,
researchers working in this field are aware of potential weaknesses
and pitfalls of these metrics. Contributors to this volume reflect
on different factors influencing quantification, such as scale
size, wording, language, biases, and cultural comparability in
order to raise awareness on the tools and on their conditions of
use.
