[edit] Comment from subpage

The link to "hedonic psychology" goes to "psychological egoism." This is misleading and incorrect. Someone probably mistakenly believed that the word "hedonic" in hedonic psychology refers to "hedonism" and thus to a psychology of selfish hedonism. Hedonic Psychology is actually a field of psychology that attempts to analyze and measure what brings people happiness/welfare, etc. and need not be related to egoist motives. It is basically an attempt to update utilitarian/economic ethics/welfare theory in light of modern empirical techniques, including various survey techniques. If I had the time and the expertise I would create a hedonic psychology page. But until someone creates such a page, or another more suitable page is found, this link should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.192.2.49 (talk • contribs) .

The above post does a good job defining hedonic psychology. Since, as pointed out, there is currently no wikipedia page for hedonic psychology, I have inserted a brief definition given by Kahneman, Diener and Schwarz. It may be overlong - I leave that for others to decide. I would be happy to move the entire definition to a hedonic psychology page, if one is ever created (I might, but no promises). If anyone else would be supportive of such a page, let me know, and then if I do create a page, I'll be sure to bother you to help justify the new page's creation.
