Observed Relation with Happiness

Happiness Measure Statistics Elaboration / Remarks O-HP-g-rc-?-0-a ta = +.35 p < .02 Analysis of results suggests that in evaluating the residents the staff equated adjustment with external criteria, such as cooperation and conduct, more than with internal criteria, such as the feelings of the residents.
