“…Humans have long lived within a society where survival is highly competitive; however, with the advent of the 21st century, many are becoming increasingly interested in the "value of happiness" [1]. Over the years, international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have conventionally utilized gross domestic product (GDP) as a means of distinguishing between developed and developing countries or regions.…”

Humans now have a life expectancy of nearly 90 years and, as a result, society is rapidly aging. These longer life spans have, however, increased the average length of hospitalization for elderly adults suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and encephalopathy. In a recent survey of 10 well-being indices for elderly adults, the top demands for well-being are physical, spiritual, and psychological. Thus, we developed the WISH (Well-aging Indexing for Senior Health) Platform to enhance the normalizing exponents using survey data. Nowadays, the incidence of many chronic diseases is increasing. Thus, we designed the WISH Platform using clinical research on depression, cerebral infarction, coronary artery, and rheumatism, which are common diseases in Koreans. By applying this study to chronic diseases, which manifest differently among elderly adults across different countries, it is possible to determine influential nutrition and life patterns to create a standardized index. Such an index will help create value for the happiness of active elderly people, which in turn will aid in their efforts to maintain health; it may even benefit health promotion in other age groups.

“…When we do not know what type of happiness we really want, we easily follow the standards of happiness set by others or the social norms of society. To enhance an individual's happiness, we need to be aware of the situations and environmental conditions that make us feel happy and to explore the values of happiness we pursue [4,5].…”

Although Korea has achieved successful economic, social, cultural, and technological development over the past decades, Korean people do not seem to be particularly happy. To enhance an individual’s happiness, we need to be aware of what situations and environmental conditions are conducive for happiness and explore the values of happiness we pursue. This study investigated the types of happiness expressed by Korean people using a mixed-method approach. Personal in-depth (n = 15) and focus group (n = 16) interviews were conducted with people who reported feeling a high level of happiness. Happiness categorization was conducted using Q methodology (n = 63). Subsequently, we surveyed 999 nationally representative samples of Korean adults to generalize the results of the Q analysis. The findings revealed seven types of adult happiness in Korea: (1) Self-actualization, (2) Belongingness, (3) Mission, (4) Social recognition, (5) Enjoyment, (6) Material success, and (7) Parenting. The combined results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses showed that in Korea, people pursuing money or social success feel the unhappiest, whereas people pursuing a mission or sense of belonging feel the happiest. In conclusion, we discussed the need for happiness literacy education, to provide each adult an opportunity to understand the type of happiness they pursue.

“…In response, Joel Robbins () urged an “anthropology of the good” to emancipate the “suffering subject” by focusing on more idyllic notions like hope, well‐being, care, and empathy. This analytical approach, branded by Walter and KavedZija () as the “happiness turn,” is seen in Fischer's () usage of the “the good life” and “well‐being” as a form of “positive anthropology,” which became a buzzing counterpoint to the haunting of darker themes (requoted in Ortner ). Thus we are driven, through these dialectical responses, to examine our underlying morality and ethics (Lambek ).…”

This essay reflects on sociocultural anthropological scholarship in 2016. The review does not create categories or rubrics-as some reviewers have done in the past. Rather, it narrativizes emergent issues and offers a number of ways of considering how a range of analytics have predetermined our anthropological practice. I survey "dark" anthropology through the ontological turn this year and conclude by amplifying the research and call to decolonize and engage our methodologies. Through this review, I revisit particular conceptions of structure and agency, especially in the context of neoliberal capitalism, and consider how that has forced us to rethink the classic tension between culture and materiality. The year 2016 was marked by a certain specter of death at the interstices of life, crisis, and a burgeoning urgency and sense of reflection on the various kinds of reifications the production of anthropological knowledge manifests. As such, the year saw important pleas, correctives, and reengagements of anthropological discourse and thematic production. The operative framework for this review deploys an anthropological hauntology, a modality through which to make sense of the specters of our discursive being. This raises questions about ethnographic research in relation to its modes of production. [sociocultural anthropology, ontology, death, decolonizing methodology, disenchantment, crisis] RESUMEN Este ensayo reflexiona sobre la investigación antropológica sociocultural en 2016. La revisión no crea categorías ni rúbricas-como algunos críticos lo han hecho en el pasado. Más bien narrativiza cuestiones emergentes y ofrece un número de maneras de considerar cómo un rango de análisis de la información ha predeterminado nuestra práctica antropológica. Examino la antropología "oscura" a través del giro ontológico este año, y concluyo amplificando la investigación y llamo a descolonizar y enfrentar nuestras metodologías. A través de esta revisión, repaso concepciones particulares de estructura y agencia, especialmente en el contexto del capitalismo neoliberal, y considero cómo este nos ha forzado a repensar la tensión clásica entre cultura y materialidad. El año 2016 estuvo marcado por un cierto espectro de muerte en los intersticios de vida, crisis y una creciente urgencia y sentido de reflexión sobre los diferentes tipos de reificaciones que la producción de conocimiento antropológico manifiesta. Como tal, el año vio importantes peticiones, correctivos, reabordajes del discurso y la producción temática antropológicos. El marco operativo de esta revisión utiliza la hauntología antropológica, una modalidad a través de la cual se da sentido a los espectros del ser discursivo. Esto genera preguntas acerca de la investigación etnográfica en relación con sus modos de producción. [antropología sociocultural, ontología, muerte, metodología descolonizadora, desencanto, crisis]
