When measured objectively, however, by diagnosed physical conditions and performance, the health of Danes is mediocre. Welfare state —Cross national studies show that a prosperous economy and a well functioning democracy are associated with a high level of wellbeing, 3 7 although longitudinal studies of life satisfaction do not indicate any stable changes as a result of a higher income. Virtually all historically Protestant societies show relatively high levels of subjective wellbeing.
Exercise —There are more than 1. Furthermore, Danes use bicycles to a great extent for transportation, a feature they have in common with another high ranker in life satisfaction, the Netherlands.
Prowess in sports —Guidebooks to Denmark correctly assert that winning the European Championship in football by beating Germany in the final put Danes in such a state of euphoria that the country has not been the same since. This would explain the high plateau of life satisfaction in Denmark after figure.
Other research supports the plausibility of explanations of this kind. For instance, it has been shown in England that stock market prices are positively linked to the performance of English national football teams John Whitfield, Football results kick share prices, Nature News , and death rates from cardiovascular diseases rise among men when a local team loses at home or the national team participates in the European Football championships' play-off. Expectations —The Eurobarometer surveys also contain a question about expectations for improvement in the coming year.
It has been argued that great expectations of favourable life circumstances in the future should be associated with life satisfaction, 13 but if the expectations are unrealistically high they could also be the basis of disappointment and low life satisfaction. The Eurobarometer data on expectations go back to and show that while Danes are very satisfied, their expectations for the coming year are rather low, ranking among the bottom half. In contrast, Italy and Greece, which rank lowest on life satisfaction, rank high on expectations for the year to come; together with Swedes and Finns they rank at the top.
The causes of the stolid depth of Danish wellbeing are undoubtedly multifactorial. We are satisfied, however, that in the end and against all odds we have contributed to comprehension of the conundrum of Danish contentment.
We doubt that further research would lead, in the foreseeable future, to deeper understanding, but decades of effort might possibly result in some incremental advance. Our analysis points to two explanatory factors. The Danish football triumph of has had a lasting impact.
This victory arguably provided the biggest boost to the Danish psyche since the protracted history of Danish setbacks began with defeat in England in , followed by the loss of Sweden, Norway, Northern Germany, the Danish West Indies, and Iceland.
The satisfaction of the Danes, however, began well before , albeit at a more moderate level. The key factor that explains this and that differentiates Danes from Swedes and Finns seems to be that Danes have consistently low and indubitably realistic expectations for the year to come. Year after year they are pleasantly surprised to find that not everything is getting more rotten in the state of Denmark. This finding is supported by Danish news coverage of the pronouncement by Ruut Veenhoven, Dutch Professor of Social Conditions for Happiness and head of the World Database of Happiness, that Danes are the world's happiest people.
The headlines in Denmark ran: In this humbug-bloated holiday season, with an undoubtedly disappointing New Year approaching, we do not wish to foster false hopes. Some tepid comfort might perhaps be taken, however, in the fact that if you lower your expectations enough you might feel a bit better next Christmas.

Introduction Danes are unrivalled in satisfaction with life. Open in a separate window. Hypotheses, methods, and results We focused on accounting for why life satisfaction in Denmark substantially exceeds that in Sweden and Finland, the two Eurobarometer countries most similar to Denmark. Comments The causes of the stolid depth of Danish wellbeing are undoubtedly multifactorial.
