Abstract

Happiness is a mental state that results from fulfilling one's goals. Happiness has risen to prominence as one of the most significant indicators of societal advancement. Happiness has now established itself as one of the most important indices of societal progress. The significance of happiness is magnified by two when it comes to university students. All personality traits and happiness have a significant connection, according to the research. Extraversion has the strongest relationship to happiness, followed by neuroticism. The impact of gender on happiness has been studied, and the findings reveal that there is no vital variance between male or female student happiness levels, despite the fact that male students are happier on average. Male students are happier than female students, according to happiness statistics from undergraduates, graduates, and postgraduate students. The main purpose of this research is to examine the influence of happiness on student happiness as well as to compare the happiness levels of male and female students. Several studies have been conducted in this area, but more will be required in the future.
