DESCRIPTION:Do very happy people have different daily routines than less h
 appy people? We know a lot about the traits and life circumstances of happ
 y people\, but little research has examined the behaviour of happy people 
 as they go about their daily routines. First\, I describe a set of three d
 aily diary studies in which I tracked people's happiness and daily social 
 interactions across several days. I found that happier people have more da
 ily social interactions with both strong ties (i.e.\, close friends and fa
 mily) and weak ties (i.e.\, acquaintances).  Additionally\, people are hap
 pier on days when they have more strong or weak tie interactions than usua
 l. Next\, I describe the Emotion Sense mobile phone app\, developed in col
 laboration with computer scientists at Cambridge\, which collects data fro
 m people "in the wild". Using experience sampling\, the app collects self-
 report data (including happiness)\, which is matched up to behavioural dat
 a sensed directly from the phone (location from the GPS sensor\, physical 
 activity from the accelerometer\, social activity from phone call and text
  message logs). I report some preliminary findings about the behaviour of 
 happy people.
