[0036] In the description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, identical or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description of elements denoted by the same reference numerals will be omitted or simplified as appropriate. The arrows in the figures primarily illustrate the flow of data or processing. Furthermore, the word "unit" may be replaced with "circuit," "process," "procedure," "processing," or "circuit," as appropriate.

[0037] Implementation method 1.

[0038] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0039] ***Description of the structure***

[0040] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an example of the structure of the happiness model generation device 100 according to this embodiment. Figure 1As shown, the happiness model generation device 100 includes a questionnaire content construction unit 110 , a questionnaire collection unit 120 , a questionnaire result extraction unit 130 , a happiness model construction unit 140 , and a happiness model output unit 150 .

[0041] The questionnaire content construction unit 110 constructs a questionnaire 111 .

[0042] The questionnaire content construction unit 110 can also construct the questionnaire 111 using a questionnaire template. Specifically, when using a template, the questionnaire content construction unit 110 selects question content from the template and converts the question form represented by the template. While questions about the number of friends or annual income can be answered quantitatively, individual differences exist in how happiness is evaluated based on the number of friends or annual income. Therefore, by changing the question to a more expressive question such as "Is xx ideal?", the respondent is encouraged to imagine a deviation from their ideal state and answer the question. The ideal state can be either an unrealistic ideal or a realistic ideal. Furthermore, questions such as "Are you satisfied with xx?" sometimes encourage the respondent to imagine a deviation from their ideal state, making it difficult to express individual differences in happiness and therefore not recommended. Specifically, the wording of the questionnaire items in the model-building questionnaire is designed to encourage the respondent to imagine a deviation from their ideal state and answer the question.

[0043] Questionnaire 111 is a questionnaire used to construct happiness model 141, also known as a model-building questionnaire. At this point, questionnaire content construction unit 110 selects question content and generates interrogative sentences corresponding to the selected question content. Typically, questionnaire 111 consists of multiple items. Happiness model 141 is a model that estimates a subject's happiness based on the results of a happiness questionnaire administered to the subject. It describes happiness based on three factors: a factor related to the subject's work, a first private life factor, and a second private life factor. The first private life factor is a factor related to private life. The second private life factor is a factor related to private life that is not included in the first private life factor. The happiness questionnaire is a questionnaire used to obtain information for input into happiness model 141 and consists of questionnaire items that capture happiness and questionnaire items related to happiness.

[0044] The questionnaire 111 includes questionnaire items for grasping happiness and questionnaire items related to happiness.

[0045] The happiness-gauging questionnaire items are administered to confirm the confidence level of the happiness calculated using happiness model 141. Specifically, the happiness-gauging questionnaire items include at least one of items related to the "Life Satisfaction Scale" and items related to the "Four Factors of Happiness." A specific example of the "Life Satisfaction Scale" is described in [Reference 1]. A specific example of the "Four Factors of Happiness" is described in [Reference 2].

[0046] The questionnaire items related to happiness are items for which correlation with happiness was found among the results obtained by administering the questionnaire for model construction.

[0047] [Reference 1]

[0049] [Reference 2]

[0050] Takashi Maeno, "The Practice of Happiness Mechanisms: An Introduction to Happiness Studies," Kodansha, December 2013

[0051] The questionnaire collection unit 120 collects responses to the questionnaire 111 from multiple people.

[0052] The questionnaire result extraction unit 130 extracts the results of the questionnaire items for understanding the happiness level and the results of the questionnaire items related to the happiness level from the answers to the questionnaire 111 collected by the questionnaire collection unit 120 .

[0053] Happiness model construction unit 140 uses the results extracted by questionnaire result extraction unit 130 to decompose the results into three factors: personal life, work, and social relationships, using methods such as covariance structure analysis to construct happiness model 141. Specifically, happiness model construction unit 140 constructs happiness model 141 based on questionnaire items in the model construction questionnaire that capture happiness extracted based on the results of administering the model construction questionnaire, and questionnaire items in the model construction questionnaire that relate to happiness extracted based on the results of administering the model construction questionnaire.

[0054] The happiness model output unit 150 outputs the happiness model 141 constructed by the happiness model construction unit 140 .

[0055] Figure 2A specific example of the happiness model 141 is shown. The happiness model 141 is a model that describes the happiness of each person based on three factors: "personal life", "work", and "social relations". "Work" is a factor directly related to each person's work. "Personal life" is a factor that is not directly related to each person's work and corresponds to phenomena that can be changed by personal efforts or personal daily activities. "Social relations" is a factor that is not directly related to each person's work and does not belong to "personal life". As a specific example, "social relations" is a factor corresponding to administrative affairs, a factor corresponding to social evaluation, or a factor corresponding to content set by others. In addition, "work" is equivalent to a factor related to work. "Personal life" is equivalent to the first private life factor. "Social relations" is equivalent to the second private life factor. In addition, Figure 2 The questionnaire items corresponding to the leftmost column are equivalent to the questionnaire items related to happiness.

[0056] Each of the three factors is assigned a contribution rate to happiness. Happiness model 141 is generated by calculating each contribution rate using covariance structure analysis or other methods based on the results of a statistically significant number of model-building questionnaires. Furthermore, in happiness model 141, "personal life," "work," and "social relationships" are each further decomposed into multiple factors, and contribution rates are set for the relationship between each factor before decomposition and each factor after decomposition. Furthermore, in happiness model 141, multiple items are hierarchical, and contribution rates corresponding to each of the multiple items are set. The number of hierarchies in happiness model 141 can also be five or more. When questionnaire results are input to the final layer of happiness model 141, the input results are summed up to ultimately calculate happiness. Furthermore, the location of each factor can be changed as appropriate. As a specific example, "how you spend your free time" can also be set as belonging to personal life.

[0057] A specific example of the happiness calculation formula is shown in [Formula 1]. Here, H represents the calculated happiness value, P represents the total questionnaire results for personal life, W represents the total questionnaire results for "work," and C represents the total questionnaire results for "social relationships." α represents the contribution rate of the "personal life" factor, β represents the contribution rate of the "work" factor, and γ represents the contribution rate of the "social relationships" factor. x represents the total questionnaire results for each item in "personal life," y represents the total questionnaire results for each item in "work," and z represents the total questionnaire results for each item in "social relationships." a represents the contribution rate for each item in "personal life," b represents the contribution rate for each item in "work," and c represents the contribution rate for each item in "social relationships." d, e, and f represent the questionnaire contribution rates, and s, t, and u represent the questionnaire results.

[0066] Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the happiness calculation device 200. Figure 3 As shown, the happiness calculation device 200 includes a questionnaire collection unit 210 , a happiness calculation unit 220 , and a happiness display unit 230 .

[0067] The questionnaire collection unit 210 collects questionnaires for individual happiness surveys. The questionnaires collected by the questionnaire collection unit 210 are also referred to as happiness questionnaires. The questionnaire collection unit 210 can collect questionnaire results for each individual or collect questionnaires for multiple people to complete. Furthermore, the happiness questionnaire is typically distinct from questionnaire 111. The happiness questionnaire can also consist of a subset of questions from questionnaire 111. Specifically, each item on the happiness questionnaire is evaluated on a five-point scale.

[0068] Happiness calculation unit 220 calculates happiness using the questionnaires collected by questionnaire collection unit 210 and happiness model 141. Specifically, happiness calculation unit 220 calculates the subject's happiness using happiness model 141 and the results of a happiness questionnaire administered to the subject. Happiness is the result of a comprehensive assessment of the questionnaire results. Specifically, happiness is calculated using the method described in [Reference 1].

[0069] The happiness level display unit 230 displays the happiness level calculated by the happiness level calculation unit 220 .

[0070] Figure 4 The following describes an example of the hardware configuration of the happiness model generation device 100 according to this embodiment.

Each component of the happiness model generation device 100 utilizes a storage device as appropriate. Specifically, the storage device comprises at least one of the memory 12, the auxiliary storage device 13, registers in the processor 11, and flash memory in the processor 11. The terms "data" and "information" may have equivalent meanings. The storage device may also be independent of the computer.

[0082] The functions of the memory 12 and the auxiliary storage device 13 may also be implemented by other storage devices.

[0083] Any program described in this manual can be recorded on a non-volatile recording medium that can be read by a computer. As a specific example, the non-volatile recording medium is an optical disc or a flash memory. Any program described in this manual can be provided as a program product.
