NAVA-PRECIADO, José María y UREA±A-PAJARITO, Jesús Heriberto. Domains and assessments of happiness among adolescents from Guadalajara-Mexico.. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.443-454. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1512807032016.
The present study deals with the valuations that urban adolescents place on what it means to be happy or feel joyful in the micro contexts of their daily lives. The study analyzes semantic domains using the Freelisting technique, which is a form of structured interview. For this reason is not representative in statistical terms. The research was conducted in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico with the participation of 264 young people. The most relevant results show that adolescents identify happiness with domains related to personal attributes, with health being the most important. In addition, the young people stated that a happy life has affection as its foundation, mainly from family and friends. Despite their young age, the participants evaluated happiness with enough significant domains to cultivate a joyful and long lasting life.
