Not that I necessarily agree that espousing your viewpoint requires research, but it might be constituted by studies showing correlations with more difficult but meaningful lives and long term contentedness/happiness, or with traits we generally see as positive, such as honesty.

There are and have been plenty of cultures which consider other values more important. Even then, defining happiness is itself not a scientific endeavor. Ultimately you end up at philosophy or religion.
