I have always wondered if there is not a strong cultural bias. In 
cultures where the sufferings of human existence are considered to be 
obvious or calling oneself lucky is considered challenging the gods or 
fate, there would be less respondents calling themselves happy than in a 
culture where an unhappy person is considered a loser.
