CARRILLO, SONIA et al. The Role of the Collective Dimension in the Study of Happiness. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.115-129. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v26n1.54624.

Studies of happiness include diverse perspectives, concepts and factors; however, research on happiness often focuses on its individual dimension. This work emphasizes the concept of happiness as a multidimensional construct of individual and collective aspects. The main purpose of the article is to present an analysis of the collective dimension of happiness, which has been little studied in the Latin American context. In particular, this article seeks to emphasize the role of relationships, prosocial behavior and investment in others in the understanding of happiness. The conclusions identify issues associated with the collective dimension that permit a broadening of the research on happiness.

Palavras-chave : happiness; collective dimension; affective relationships; investment in others; prosocial behavior..
