Does Life Satisfaction Correlate With Happiness?

People often do difficult unpleasant things but there's a big payoff at the end so they're working towards that. So you ask people not about how they're feeling right now but how satisfied they are with their life in general. People who measure high on life satisfaction also tend to measure high on other things like health, sex and exercise. Also it's important to note that there are cultural differences too. For example when you ask about life satisfaction Americans are measured as happier than Chinese people. It's like the culture of America is focused on being happy.
