” Culture and Happiness Balance-Oriented Happiness in Japan.” Dr. Yukiko Uchida Associate Professor, Kokoro Research Center
Dr. Uchida, a cultural psychologist, has been engaging in empirical research on happiness, the meaning of which differs across cultures. She was a member of the Commission on Well-Being Studies of the Japanese government. It has been pointed out that Japanese score of happiness is lower than other industrialized countries, but Dr. Uchida found that the meaning of happiness in Japan has “yin and yang”–thus for example, their ideal level of happiness is as a 7 on a 10-point scale. Unlike European-American cultures, happiness in Japan is evaluated by taking into account the ups and downs of life as a whole, and by “balancing” social relationships and harmony.
