ARTICLE REVIEW 2 Article Review Boehm et al. (2011) present great insights into happiness-enhancing strategies for individuals by focusing on Anglo-Americans and Asian-Americans. The study uses a longitudinal design to investigate the phenomenon. I believe that the use of longitudinal design was very appropriate. This is because observing happiness is a phenomenon that cannot be done in a short time. The times and tides of people change, and this is why observing the effectiveness of these strategies over a long period is integral. It is also important to consider the fact that this research needs to eliminate any causal relationships. It could be that something good was happening at a particular point that could impact the study. For example, the economy can be doing well, and that could lead to moments of happiness over a short period of time. This could affect the results if the study is short. This is why a longitudinal approach is best for this study. The article does not exclusively mention how they collected the data for the study. Researchers could have distributed surveys or questionnaires to participants to gather information about their experiences and attitudes concerning happiness. They could also have utilized interviews and observations to gather data. However, without explicit mention of the data collection methods, it is impossible to know how the researchers collected the data clearly. One of the APA codes that was not followed was informed consent (APA Code 8.02). The article did not clearly discuss the informed consent process as part of the article. This makes it hard to keep them accountable concerning the policy. This could have easily been addressed if the researchers had taken the time to explain how they dealt with informed consent, considering the fact that they were dealing with a longitudinal design. Another code that was not adequately followed was debriefing (APA Code 8.08). This is where researchers

ARTICLE REVIEW 3 are required to debrief participants concerning the study and the ethical considerations that concern it. The main way to address this would have been to have minutes of the meeting where they debriefed. The only question I have concerning data collection in longitudinal studies is whether it is possible to overcome the ethical challenges presented completely. A longitudinal study basically involves observing someone over a very long period of time. There are obviously some ethical lines that are bound to be crossed during this time. This begs the question of whether, in a longitudinal study, one of the prices that have to be paid is privacy and the blurring of ethical lines.
