Considering the expanding usage of experiments in Economics, the present article chooses one published paper in the area, dealing with the house money effect and analyzes it in a didactic way as concepts relating to the experimental design of lab experiments are evoked and discussed. In order to do so, three sections are outlined. First of all, the house money effect is explained and the article under scrutiny is placed in the context of what had already been done before; secondly, some of the experimental design concepts are summarised and then applied to soundly describe the experimental design of their experiment. Finally, after briefly presenting their results, there is an analytical overview of what has been done after their work and a personal take on possible lines for further research.
Busca-se, na literatura empírica, evidências de como variáveis econômicas, institucionais e contextuais influenciam a felicidade dos indivíduos. Após comentar sobre os fundamentos metodológicos e comportamentais que dão sustentação ao artigo, os autores dividem as subseções de acordo com variáveis temáticas. O principal resultado que se sobressai ao longo de todo o trabalho é a importância daquilo que nos cerca para o nosso bem-estar.
INTRODUÇÃO: Qual a associação entre fluxo, ansiedade e conexão? OBJETIVO: Encontrar e desvendar as possíveis relações entre os três fenômenos mencionados. M ÉTODOS: Exploração da literatura empírica referente às temáticas em questão e simultânea construção narrativa de uma nova abordagem teórica. RESULTADOS: Mostra-se a relação antagonista existente entre fluxo e ansiedade e evidencia-se o papel da conexão humana como catalisadora do primeiro e remédio preventivo contra a segunda. CONCLUSÃO: Surgem possíveis linhas de pesquisa futura.
Using data from a worldwide sample, we investigate how happy people look like and if these “happiness characteristics” are more present in big urban towns or in small rural villages. We found evidence that (i) people seem to be slightly happier in rural settlements, (ii) happier people have some particular characteristics (e.g., higher levels of trust in others and being more interested in politics) and (iii) these positive attitudes are slightly more present in rural contexts. Then, we discuss some conceivable explanations to what we have seen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
