Abstract

This empirical study examines the impact of family environment on the happiness of young adults. A sample of 150 students completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire by Hills and Argyle (2007) and the Family Environment Scale by Bhatia and Chaddha (2012). Results reveal a significant relationship between happiness and family environment, with acceptance, care, cohesion, and active recreational orientation emerging as influential factors. The findings underscore the importance of familial dynamics in shaping young adults’ happiness, offering insights for interventions to enhance their emotional well-being.
