Happiness

1. Do you think these data collection tools are valid scientific tools? Why or Why not? (In research this is part of what is called validity)

I think these data collection tools are valid as scientific tools because to develop these ideas or questions, researchers take the necessary steps to create tools to predict certain phenomenons, including particular way of observation, thinking, experimenting and validating.

2. Do you think your results would be if you took the on-line questionnaire at a different time, on a different day? Why or why not? (In research this is part of what is called reliability

It can vary in certain questions but the results would not change much because the questions are made in such a way that factors , such as time on different day or mood cannot interferer on the results.

3. Which of the two tools is better to do with a large group of people (eg. university students, people living in cities versus rural locations, etc.) to discover patterns of happiness in a given population? Why do you think that one is better suited?

I believe that these tools may be better to do with university students because the group is homogenius. I think that with group of with different life circumstances it would not possible to discover patters of happiness because the questions would vary from one group to other.

Learning Language, my own experience

I think that learning a new language it takes long time and one have to be patient. I took me long time to understand this. I believed that only intelligent people are able to learn not only a language but also difficult targets or goals . But my experience in learning English and French have showed me that there is nothing impossible. One have to work hard and be persistent in what one wants to their life. I learned that I don not have to concern much about it and let it go in its natural way. This help me a lot. This is my secret.
