Dear Sir/Madam,
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the love of money on happiness among Malaysian Chinese and Singaporean Chinese. The love of money is measured by the Love of Money Scale (LOMS) developed by Tang and associates (Tang et al., 2002; Tang & Tang, 2002); it indicates how meaningful is money to an individual. Happiness on the other hand is measured by Lyubomirsky and Lepper's (1999) Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS); it indicates how happy is an individual in general.

1. Participants must be aged 18 years old and above.

3. Participants must be Chinese.
