Happiness
spikes on the weekend and drops when the work week begins. Call it
‘weekend bliss’ or the ‘Monday blues,'” said Cristobal Young, an
assistant professor in sociology who co-authored the study with Chaeyoon
Lim from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Emotional well-being rises by about 15% on weekends, the study shows. This reflects both more positive emotions like happiness and enjoyment, and fewer negative emotions like stress, anger and sadness. The findings are based on a study of 500,000 Americans in the Gallup Daily Poll and eight years of data from the American Time Use Survey.
