I have no hand on that study, of course, but I opine that happiness if
relative. As communication improves (TV, Internet, frequency of phone
coversation), jealousy which is dependent on the notion of relativity, as
well contest, lead to sadness. Moreover, people are becoming less social,
more isolated and thus they received less encouragement and mutual support.
Best wishes,
Roy
