In recent years, the study of happiness has been paid attention to, but were adults in Taiwan happy? Although the United Nations (2019) statistics indicated that Taiwan’s happiness ranked 25th in the world, which was better than Asian countries’ performance, but her ranking was the country-based analysis, and was not an exploration of individual samples. This study used a questionnaire survey method and compiled a self-compiled happiness scale to collect data on 571 adults. After statistical analysis, the following conclusions were obtained:1. The overall happiness of Taiwanese people was good, which included interpersonal relationships, physical and mental health, happiness, life satisfaction was higher than average, especially in terms of interpersonal relationship and happiness. 2. After controlling personal background variables, citizens’ participation in leisure and stress relief had a partial mediating effect between the citizens’ optimism and happiness. However, there was no significant difference between participating in leisure and relieving stress in the mediating effect of happiness, which meant that these two mediating variables were of the same importance. This research had an in-depth discussion on the conclusions and made specific suggestions. The contribution of this research lied in the use of rigorous statistical methods to analyze the happiness factors of Taiwanese people and found that there were mediated factors (leisure participation and stress relief) between the people’s optimism and happiness. This provided people with the need to increase happiness, participated in leisure and relieved stress. |
