Measures current happiness
Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS)
How happy are you right now (briefly)?
The Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) is a self-reported survey that assesses an individual's subjective happiness. The SHS consists of four items that measure the extent to which a person experiences positive and negative affect and overall life satisfaction. The SHS is a reliable and valid measure of subjective happiness and has been widely used in research on happiness and well-being. The brevity and simplicity of the SHS make it a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners interested in measuring happiness quickly and efficiently.
