| Resumo: | Now-a-days, happiness is a relevant matter. It has been considered a synonym of well-being, or a core part of it, and is characterized as an affective and cognitive evaluation. Happiness is relevant to self and individual interests, as well as, to social life and public policies. It is shaped culture, which appears to have a great influence on the definition of happiness across countries. So, what is the definition of happiness for Mexicans? The sample was 201 male (48.3%) and female (51.7%), Mexico City inhabitants, 20 years and older (Mean=39.97 years; S.D.=13.56 years) within three groups: 20 to 34 years (36.3%), 35 to 49 years (32.3%) and 50 or more years old (31.3%). Respondents filled out a semantic network questionnaire to define happiness (informed consent provided). A graph analysis was performed (Gephi 9.2). Happiness resulted in a social complex network. Results showed happiness has two main sets. The relationships that included family, friends and work. And positive emotions such as love, joy and tranquility. This definition had qualitative similarities and differences with other culture’s definitions of happiness. |
