While some general tendencies may reflect a reality, this list is rather
questionable, IMO. 

First the fact that "happiness" means something different to every person,
in every culture, and terms like these are notoriously difficult to
translate "culture-neutrally".

Then the questions... the same problems, but multiplied. And added the
issue that in some cultures exists a certain pressure to not talk about
anything problematic and presenting an always "happy" image, whereas other
cultures cultivate criticism and talking about problems. Who's to say who's
happier?
