The ones I knew looked at future marriage/divorce stats for the kids, and some other objective measures that aren't coming to me right now. They candidly admit that you can't measure happiness, so they looked for what they thought were valid symptoms of happiness and adjustment. Best that can be done, I guess, but, again, lack of completely accurate data shouldn't completely obviate the study, as long as a reader is made aware of the limitations. I found them persuasive.

I can only base my findings on the few friends I have.

If you have few friends, you may not be the best baseline.
