Survey of recent research suggests common strategies to boost happiness lack rigorous testing NatureHumBehav
We conducted a systematic review of the evidence underlying some of the most widely recommended strategies for increasing happiness. By coding media articles on happiness, we first identified the five most commonly recommended strategies: expressing gratitude, enhancing sociability, exercising, practising mindfulness/meditation and increasing nature exposure. Next, we conducted a systematic search of the published scientific literature.
We identified well-powered, pre-registered experiments testing the effects of these strategies on any aspect of subjective wellbeing in non-clinical samples. A total of 57 studies were included. Our review suggests that a strong scientific foundation is lacking for some of the most commonly recommended happiness strategies.
