In 1881, the optimistic Irish economist Francis Edgeworth imagined a strange device called a “hedonimeter” that would be capable of “continually registering the height of pleasure experienced by an individual”, in other words, a happiness sensor. It was just a daydream. In practice, for decades, social scientists have had a devilish headache in trying to measure happiness. One of the major problems of registering the people’s mood is that the individuals are often irritated learning that they are being investigated. But what if you had a remote-sensing mechanism that could record how millions of people around the world were feeling on any particular day – without their knowing? That’s exactly what Peter Dodds and Chris Danforth, a mathematician and a computer scientist working in the Advanced Computing Center at the University of Vermont, have created. “The Rapid growth of personal online writing such as blogs gives us the opportunity to measure emotional levels in real time,” they write in their study. “We analyze some 2.3 million blogs, looking for sentences beginning with “I feel” or “I am feeling.” Then, drawing on a standardized “psychological valence” of words established by the Affective Norms for English Words (ANEW) study; each sentence receives a happiness score.
