“…These negative reactions decreased the first-year students' SWB. Furthermore, the results are also in accordance with previous studies in other parts of the world (Schiffrin & Nelson, 2010;Heizomi et al, 2015).…”

“…As such, students with low SWB are more likely to report being depressed and demonstrate maladaptive social relationships (Park, 2004). Even more, a low level of SWB is more likely to give rise to mental disorders in students (Heizomi et al, 2015). On the contrary, a higher level of SWB is more likely to increase the students' academic achievement (Manzoor et al, 2014).…”

“…Further, affective evaluation is an appraisal of a person's positive as well as negative affect. As students experience more academic stress, they would evaluate their SWB as being less satisfying (Denovan & Macaskill, 2016;Heizomi et al, 2015;Schiffrin & Nelson, 2010). A low SWB is associated with various negative impacts.…”

“…Happiness is an internal condition and a reflection of good life experiences [42]. The understanding of oneself improves physiological wellbeing, which leads to better relationships that further impact performance and growth [67]. The individuals that have a strong feeling of self-deception give higher priority to their opinion about life than actual life circumstances [117]; for instance, one of the studies opined that the children involved in taking care of someone may themselves have poor health and have decreased well-being because of low self-esteem [118].…”

Human beings want to live in a state of happiness and prosperity, but happiness is important not just for the well-being of individuals but for the well-being of society. To ensure the maximization of happiness, it is necessary to consider more than just money, and rather include the right understanding of happiness at the individual level, the family level, the society level, and the environmental (nature) level. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by consolidating the findings of the literature; grouping those into major themes and sub-themes; describing the mechanisms based on the empirical papers by highlighting the independent, dependent, control, and moderating variables, to study the causal relationships between variables under study; proposing an agenda for future research; and informing the policymakers about decisions influencing the human happiness level through legislative rules and regulations. Our results suggest prioritizing the conceptualization of happiness while computing the happiness level at the individual or collective levels. Furthermore, the study recommends governments to establish the conditions enabling individuals to report happiness independently from the political pressure to answer strategically for impressive happiness level figures at the macro level.

“…Thus, academic institutions may accomplish much by attending to the emotional wellbeing of students for their positive psychological wellbeing. Students counselling services should seek to support intelligent emotional expression among students for happiness (Heizomi, Allahverdipour, Jafarabadi, & Safaian, 2015), Moreover, it is also imperative for counselling services to increase students' sense of meaning and responsibility as these are related to goal-directed behaviour, which positively reflects in the ability to cope with stressors and better academic performance (Mason, 2017).…”

This study examined emotional intelligence and personal growth initiative influences on the level of subjective happiness among university students in Ghana. A total of 260 undergraduate students were participants (female = 69.8%, mean age = 21.72, SD = 3.61Years). They responded to measures of emotional intelligence, personal growth initiative and subjective happiness. Results following hierarchical regression analysis indicate emotional intelligence and intentional behaviour domain of personal growth to predict students' level of subjective happiness after controlling for their demographic characteristics. These findings suggest that students' ability to manage and utilize their emotions as well as their personal growth initiative contribute significantly to their level of happiness.
