Definition
The branch of knowledge that studies pleasure, its nature, sources, and effects on human behavior and society.
Etymology
From Greek 'hedonē' (pleasure) plus '-ics' (indicating a field of study), a technical term coined in the 20th century for academic discussions of pleasure as a measurable phenomenon.
Kelly Says
Food scientists use 'hedonics' to scientifically measure how much people enjoy flavors—it's literally the study of why chocolate tastes better than kale, quantified with rating scales.
