Extended data:
Happiness refers to a series of joyful and joyful emotions subjectively generated by human beings based on their own sense of satisfaction and security.
Satisfying the pursuit of happiness, from pre-modern times, is mainly manifested in philosophers' speculation and people's choice of individual lifestyle. To modern times, social movements and system construction have emerged, which reflects a historic progress. An important achievement brought by modernization to mankind is undoubtedly the continuous improvement of material living conditions and the increasing improvement of life quality.
However, modernization is a process full of paradoxes. Compared with the improvement of objective well-being, subjective well-being has not risen to the corresponding level, which undoubtedly constitutes the dilemma of modernization.
Measurement:
For decades, western psychologists, sociologists and economists have been exploring happiness measurement methods and accumulated certain knowledge and experience. Even so, no happiness measurement tool has been generally recognized, and many scales are still being improved.
There are differences between China and the West in social and cultural background and social psychology, which is one of the forms of reflection, so the understanding of happiness will not be exactly the same, and the way of feeling happiness will be different.
Therefore, in order to develop a set of happiness measurement tools that reflect the international level and conform to China's national conditions, especially to obtain a happiness index that can be used as a reference for development planning and social policy, high-level and innovative multidisciplinary cooperative research is needed.

In 2009, the soaring housing prices brought about by the booming real estate industry made many families feel pain. In addition, health, emotional intelligence, financial quotient, family responsibility and social environment are considered by most respondents to be the most important factors affecting family happiness, and these five factors are interrelated and indispensable.
