Wyobrażenie i poczucie szczęścia kobiet z Kaszub
Happiness as perceived and experienced by women from Kaszubia

Summary/Abstract: The author conducted a survey among 74 woman of various ages and educational backgrounds, with roots in a community culture where individualism combines with the sense of membership in the local community and the broader national community. The happiness index among the woman of Kaszubia is largely a function of good interpersonal relationships. The better the relationships, the higher the happiness rating. The opposite is also true: the worse the relationships, the lower the happiness rating. The emotional component is prominent in the happiness index of the Kaszubian women, i.e. the factor of good and spontaneous interpersonal relations. If the anticipated prosperity evokes egoism or extreme individualism that spoil good interpersonal relationships, the happiness rating drops. The survey also reveals a simple recipe for happiness for the Kaszubian women: improvement in wealth and prosperity must be correlated with cherished good and spontaneous interpersonal relationships.
