Among the fi rst five topics, an average close to 6 points, happiness was found in second place after the family, followed by respect, health and honesty. More recently, verifying the importance of happiness among a group of 55 values and topics, Angelucci, Juárez, Dakduk, Lezama, Moreno and Serrano (2008) requested 3384 Venezuelan university students to indicate the importance that they gave to each one, in an answer format of 1 (not important) to 6 (very important). The study on happiness has ceased to be exclusive of philosophers and humanists definitively during the second half of the twentieth century, period to which we could fix the beginning of its approach by social science, psychology and economy principally (Argyle, 1992 Seligman, 2002). This could be perhaps a manifestation of a period characterized by the end of grand stories (Lyotard, 1994), liquid societies (Bauman, 1999), where citizens dedicated to their personal wellbeing, demanding psychic comfort, inner harmony and subjective fulfilment (Lipotvetsky, 2007). The importance acquired by Happiness in todays' public discourse is on increase, as ancient are the reflections regarding the same.
Palabras clave:Felicidad, adultos, fenomenografía, método cualitativo. Se obtuvo que la felicidad presenta una estructura de significados compuesta por cinco concepciones: estado, tener, logro, estar, bienestar, conformadas por variados aspectos y significados que son descritos, y a partir de lo cual se propone una definición de felicidad para, finalmente, sugerir cómo continuar estudios en esta perspectiva. Una muestra no aleatoria de funcionarios de una universidad constituida por 164 adultos chilenos de ambos sexos respondió voluntaria y anónimamente una encuesta breve acerca de la felicidad, y sus respuestas fueron categorizadas y graficadas, respectivamente, con la ayuda de los programas NVivo y Cmapstools. Para desentrañar éste, se reporta aquí un estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, de enfoque emic, y fenomenográfico. Los estudios son predominantemente de epistemología positivista, dónde el concepto típicamente es imputado -etic-, ignorándose extensivamente el significado de la felicidad para las personas. Keywords:Happiness, adults, phenomenography, qualitative method.Įxiste un interés creciente en psicología y ciencias sociales por estudiar la felicidad.

It was obtained that happiness has a structure of meanings made up of five conceptions: state, have, achievement, be, well-being which are described, and from which a definition of happiness is proposed and finally, a suggestion on how to continue research in this area. A non-random sample of faculty and personal staff of a University consisting of 164 Chilean adults of both sexes responded voluntarily and anonymously to a brief survey about happiness and their responses were categorized and graphed respectively, with the help of the NVivo and Campstools programs. To unravel this, an observational, descriptive, transversal study of phenomenographic approach and the corresponding method -emic- are reported here. Studies are predominantly of positivist epistemology where the concept typically is charged -ethic-extensively, ignoring the meaning of happiness to people.
