Abstract

This article measures the feeling of HAPPINESS amongst heads of households in Isfahan in relation to their cultural life such as CULTURAL CAPITAL, ways of spending leisure time (scientific, artistic, sports etc) as well as RELIGIOSITY as a cultural component. This extensive survey was carried out during one period in the second half of 1386. This study consisted of all heads of families in Isfahan with a sample size of 384, calculated using Cockran’s formula. The questionnaire used had a suitable reliability of evaluation within various districts of Isfahan. The results reveal that the degree of HAPPINESS among heads of families is 56.23 with an average of emotional dimension of HAPPINESS at 59.38, the average of cognitive HAPPINESS 53.88, the average of social HAPPINESS 55.42. In addition, the average of CULTURAL CAPITAL was 27.57 in which cultural skills had the highest rank with an average of 31.89. Obtaining cultural documentation had the lowest average with a mean of 19.16. Furthermore the mean of ownership of cultural instruments was 31.68. In addition, among various leisure styles identified using factor analysis, family leisure time was 53.78, entertainment leisure time 36, sport leisure time 28.01, artistic cultural leisure time 20.43 and cultural scientific leisure time 15.34. According to these results although the average of CULTURAL CAPITAL and cultural leisure time style among heads of families is low it is usually associated with their feeling of HAPPINESS so that they increase reciprocally. On the other hand RELIGIOSITY as a cultural characteristic of Isfahan has a direct and meaningful inter-relation with the feeling of HAPPINESS.
