An Associate Professor of Psychology at the Singapore Management University (SMU), Dr Christie Scollon has been doing research on subjective well-being for 15 years and has published over 30 articles on subjective well-being. The pursuit of happiness is what she is really passionate about, in fact, she has recently taught ‘Happiness’ as a module in SMU. The course received very good responses from students, who were introduced to the science behind this emotion. In this podcast, Associate Professor Christie Scollon shares her insights and knowledge about subjective well-being, including her research which focused on happiness and its cultural comparisons among Singaporeans and Americans. 2013-09-01T07:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/podcasts/5 http://soundcloud.com/sgsmu/the-science-of-happiness Podcasts@SMU eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Psychology |
