Compare the "Subjective Happiness Scale" to the "Oxford

Happiness Questionnaire". Do the two questionnaires
produce very different results? What are the advantages and
disadvantages of the simple and direct approach of the
"Subjective Happiness Scale"? Answer both questions.
Yes, the two questionnaires do produce two totally different
answers on where they think someone falls on the happiness
scale. The Subjective Happiness Scale questionnaire was
simpler and more directed towards the actual feeling of
happiness in ones life. This questionnaire took less time to
do because there were less questions and the score was
easier to calculate at the end. The questions were more
upfront with happiness referring to how you think you stand
against other peoples feelings towards themselves. On the
other hand, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire was more
complex in the way it presented the questions. This
questionnaire had about 7 times more questions, but at the
end I did not agree with how it calculated my score. Because
the Subjective Happiness Scale collected less data it may
seem as though it would be less accurate than the Oxford
Happiness Questionnaire, however I agree with the score I
received on the Subjective Happiness Scale more because
I do feel like I am more of a happy person than perceived in
the other questionnaire. This is a perfect example of how
less is more.
