How does materialism and the economic values within a culture impact on the happiness of its members?

Hey everyone, I'm doing Society and Culture for a part of my HSC and for my Personal Interest Project I am researching how the economic status and values within a culture influence the ‘happiness’ of its members.

These responses will be used in my PIP however you will remain anonymous and will not be shared with anyone other than my Society and Culture teacher. If any of the questions in this questionnaire make you uncomfortable, feel free to skip it or leave it blank. It would be a great help to answer as many questions as you can and to be as detailed as necessary where required. These questions are also based upon a general view of your life not a small time-frame (unless specified) so please try to keep that in mind. Thank you in advance :)
