 note = {This study identifies what factors make people satisfied with their daily lives (happiness) in the context of many countries' cultures. In this analysis, three categories are tested: economics, politics, and social capital. Economic factors, especially income, are basic and important to people's daily lives; political systems decide people's freedom, control, and security in their daily lives. Moreover, social capital has a significant effect on their happiness in their daily lives. This study performs experimental tests to identify the independent variables of happiness of people living in many kinds of society using data from a cross-national comparative survey: the Asia-Pacific Values Survey 2010-2014 (conducted in Japan, the United States, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Australia, India, and Vietnam). This survey includes developed and developing countries, democratic and nondemocratic states, and many cultures such as Buddhism, Hindi, Islam, and Confucianism. This study tries to examine the differences in the variables that have an important impact on life satisfaction in each culture and society.},
