所谓幸福感，是一种心理体验，它既是对生活的客观条件和所处状态的一种事实判断，又是对于生活的主观意义和满足程度的一种价值判断。它表现为在生活满意度基础上产生的一种积极心理体验。而幸福感指数，就是衡量这种感受具体程度的主观指标数值。“幸福感指数”的概念起源于三十多年前，最早是由不丹国王提出并付诸实践的。二十多年来，在人均GDP仅为700多美元的南亚小国不丹，国民总体生活得较幸福。现在，“不丹模式”引起了世界的关注。每天都在忙忙碌碌的我们，幸福感指数有多高呢，让我们来聊聊这个全球都在关注的话题吧。幸福感指数量表的英文名称是什么呢？What is happiness index什么是幸福感指数The happiness index is the first of its kind after the National Bureau of Statistics was called on to introduce a rating of people’s satisfaction levels, as part of the ongoing effort to evaluate social and economic development.The question is: How to be happy? There is a happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). Now we look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient.Step 1: Peace and quietJonathon Haidt in his excellent book, “The Happiness Hypothesis”, notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic sound pollution. Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses (the other is the fear of falling) and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise. Noisy neighbors are one of the most emotive causes of domestic upset for a very good reason. It is essential to have some peace and quiet every day. If you are unfortunate enough to live somewhere noisy, persist with complaining to your local council. Additionally, try wearing wax earplugs to give you some respite. If you need your TV, radio or music up loud, wearing headphones demonstrates altruism to your neighbors, which will make you and them feel good.Step 2: RelationshipsThis is the most important of all the external conditions that can improve your happiness quotient. Often our deepest sources of unhappiness are found in poor relationships with others. A colleague at work who bullies or dismisses us creates untold wretchedness. A cruelly conflictual relationship with a partner or lover leaves us feeling betrayed and abandoned. A relationship with our parents or children which is not based on compassionate, unconditional regard creates isolation and misery. We never fully adapt to hostile relationships, they invidiously contaminate our wellbeing, squatting inside our minds as unresolved, destructive ruminations. When faced with such relationships, the most positive thing we can do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on.Step 3: ShareIf you have discovered conditions or choices in life that have significantly improved your wellbeing, I would like to share them with readers. Passing on what works is essential to improve our own and the wellbeing of others.现在备受关注的“幸福感指数”（英文名称happiness index，可简写为 HI），是衡量幸福感具体程度的主观指标数值。幸福感受到各种因素的影响――经济因素（economic factors）、人口因素（population factor）、文化因素（cultural factor）、心理因素（psychological factor）和政治因素（political factor）等。现在五花八门的指数特别多，幸福感指数也和其中一些指数息息相关。例如：CPI居民消费价格指数（consumer price index），就业指数（employment index）或净就业前景指数（net employment outlook），生活满意度指数（life satisfaction index）等。
