I always told my old boss, its great to know Im doing a good job, but I can't pay rent with "Good jobs" ...
Are they also able to measure the degree of happiness people experience? That could be interesting, like economists could finally get a measurement of the utility curves of their subjects.
What's so good about cash? It is just a tool to accomplish your own goals. It is pretty sad if cash alone gives people, even temporary, hapiness. Actually, a lot of stuff would be more sexier if not paid. I feel that reward turns off my creativeness.
To say nothing about that personally I hate praising. I perceive it to be empty.

Good comment!
People have a need to belong - well yes, but why is that news let alone research worthy?
