The pursuit of happiness can be a lifelong search for some, but researchers believe they may have found a key factor in feeling a greater overall sense of well-being.
Nottingham Trent University researchers found that the more an individual identified with a particular group, such as family, in their local community or through a hobby, the happier they were with their life
Our findings suggest that thinking more about one’s group life could have significant benefits for an overall sense of well-being, "says Dr Juliet Wakefield, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.
“We tend to identify with groups that share our values, interests and life priorities, as well as those that support us in times of crisis. and we can see how this would link to happiness. Our work taps into knowledge that is deep within all of us. But we often forget it due to the fast-paced and achievement-focused nature of modern life. So, to be your best self, you tend to require the support of others.”
They studied how 4, 000 participants felt connected to certain groups, and then measured the impact this had upon their levels of happiness
She adds: “It‘s important to note that identifying with a group isn ’t the same as membership, though. You can be a member of a group with which you feel no connection at all It‘s that subjective sense of belonging that’s crucial for happiness.”
“Healthcare professionals should encourage people to join groups that they are interested in or which promote their values and ideals, as well as advise people to maintain association with groups they already belong to Simple social interventions such as this could in turn help to reduce NHS expenditure and prevent future ill health”
