Can the process of experimentation lead to greater happiness?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (2):271-271 (2004)
| Abstract | We argue that the self-experimentation espoused by Roberts as a means of generating new ideas, particularly in the area of mood, may be confounded by the experimental procedure eliciting those affective changes. We further suggest that ideas might be better generated through contact with a broad range of people, rather than in isolation. | |||||||||
