The study wanted to find out the difference between happy and unhappy groups. To this end, 451 university students were asked about subjective well-being, comparison by area, and demographic variables. And we divided the top 30 percent of the happiness level and the bottom 30 percent of the happiness level into t-test and Pearson correlations to see if there was any difference between the levels of happiness in the areas of each comparison. The results showed, first, significant differences in appearance, confidence, family background, family flower, money, ambient harmony, acceptance of others and money between happy and unhappy groups. Second, differences in appearance and money have appeared depending on gender. Third, differences in comparison appeared in other people's recognition and happiness, depending on the existence of religion. Fourth, the higher the level of happiness, the lower the degree of comparison in eight areas. These results suggest that happy people do not compare themselves with others, and that comparisons undermine happiness. Finally, the significance of this study and its suggestions for further study were discussed.
