On the relationship between healthy emotions and happiness from the perspective of happiness psychology.

A survey in China shows that the overall happiness level of college students is not optimistic. According to a survey in a university, only 12% students feel "very happy", 37% people feel "very happy", 42% people think "relatively happy" and 9% people think "unhappy". These data show that the mental health level of contemporary college students is worrying. The difference of college students' subjective well-being at different levels and degrees is the result of the interaction between objective factors and subjective factors, among which subjective factors play an important role. So how to improve college students' subjective well-being?

1 What is subjective happiness?

Dina, an American psychologist, comprehensively summed up three characteristics of subjective well-being: first, it exists in individual experience and is subjective. Whether an individual is happy or not depends mainly on the standards set by the individual, not the standards of others or the outside world. Second, subjective well-being not only means that the individual has no negative emotional experience, but also means that the subject can experience positive emotions. Third, subjective well-being does not refer to the experience of an individual after evaluating a single life field, but to the total experience after evaluating the whole life (Ren Jun, 2006).

Subjectively happy people have five similarities: (1) positive outlook on life and values. (2) Happy people with high self-esteem know how to appreciate and accept themselves. They think they are different from others and affirm their own advantages. (3) A strong sense of control. People with a strong sense of happiness can control life events well. (4) optimism. People with a strong sense of happiness can understand problems from a positive perspective, and optimism can make them persevere and eventually succeed. (5) Good social support. Happy people have their own circle of friends and strong social support. (Yongzheng Huang Xiting, 2009)
