Abstract
We conduct three studies by utilizing a crowd-sourced database called Happy DB Database, which consists of more than 100,000 descriptions of happy moments written by workers in Amazon’s Machine Turk. Firstly, we apply a state-of-art word embedding algorithm BERT to transform all happy moments to context-sensitive representations to learn two critical concepts of happiness, agency and sociality. Our performance is better than that of the existing publications. Next, We study the association between alcohol consumption and happiness and our result suggests that both alcohol consumption and abstaining from drinking can lead to happiness. However, no association is found between gender and different drinking patterns in terms of breeding happiness. We also delve into happiness that results from interpersonal relationships and a significant association is found between gender and interpersonal relationships. Interestingly, men are more likely to get happy from the moments related to interpersonal connections, compared to their female counterparts.
