你快樂嗎？iPhone“快樂地圖”最懂你

Making love boosts our happiness more than anything else, a study using iPhones has revealed.

Research involving 45,000 Apple smart phone users shows having sex is the best way to feel good.

Respondents taking part posted regular updates on their level of contentedness via an app.

It showed Christmas Day is easily the happiest day of the year and people are at their most content at 1.50pm on December 25.

There was also a spike in Britain’s happiness on the day of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding on April 29.

January 31, at 8pm, is when people are at their lowest ebb, according to the research.

The 'Mappiness' project was run by researcher George MacKerron in conjunction with the London School of Economics.

It received more than three million responses over more than a year.

The app asked users to record their activity, location and happiness up to five times a day.

The results were fed into a so-called hedonimeter that tracked the nation’s mood minute by minute.

The study confirmed a commonly held belief that the population’s mood darkens during weekdays when most are at work before improving at weekends.

Mr MacKerron told the Sunday Times: 'Through April we see a series of spikes due to the bank holidays.

'Then, on the royal wedding day itself, there was a spike at around 11am during the service and again at 1pm when William and Kate went out on the balcony.'據一項通過iPhone開展的調查顯示，性生活最能使人感到快樂。

一項針對4.5萬名蘋果智能手機用戶的調查顯示，性生活是讓人感覺快樂的最好方式。

受訪者通過手機應用程序對其心理滿足水平發佈定期更新。

結果顯示，聖誕節無疑是全年最快樂的一天，人們在12月25日下午1點50分最滿足。

威廉王子和凱特王妃舉行大婚的4月29日，英國人的快樂情緒也達到了一個高峯。

調查顯示，1月31日晚8點人們情緒最低落。

這項“快樂地圖”項目由研究人員喬治•麥卡隆與倫敦經濟學院聯合開展。

在一年多的調查期間，研究人員共收到三百多萬份回覆。

應用程序要求使用者記錄他們的行爲、地點、以及快樂指數，每天最多要記錄5次。

結果被輸入隨時追蹤全國情緒變化的“快樂測量儀”。

研究證實了大家的普遍看法，也就是大部分人在上班的工作日期間，整體情緒低迷，而在週末則有所改善。

麥卡隆告訴《星期日泰晤士報》：“由於4月有法定假日，我們發現人們的快樂指數屢次出現高潮。”

“單拿威廉王子的大婚之日來說，大約上午11點儀式舉行時，以及下午1點威廉和凱特走上陽臺時，都出現了快樂高潮。”
