Details	In this lecture, I talked about the scientific approach to the study of “Happiness”. By presenting to university students an introductory lecture on Positive Psychology and its main topic of study, I helped them get acquainted with different conceptualizations of the term “happiness”, with the problems researches face when assessing the topic as well as the biases the participants in happiness studies experience when trying to assess their own levels of happiness and life satisfaction. I also presented several studies assessing individual and cultural differences on happiness offering a hands-on experience to the students by actually having them use different measures of happiness in classroom and discussed the results of those studies. ◎Moises Kirk de Carvalho Filho
