At the Happy Tech Lab, most of our work studies how technology shapes well-being. We examine digital well-being, asking when and why smartphones and social media displace or enrich everyday happiness. More recently, we have turned to the hidden costs of AI, including how tools like ChatGPT affect the way people think and create. This work grows out of two older lines of research. We have long studied how to increase happiness through skill-based programs and interventions, and the socioeconomics of happiness, tracing how income and economic policy shape emotional health. The published papers below span all four.
