B
What makes people happier, money or hav-ing happy friends? Researchers from Harvard University have found the answer to this question in a study.
The study found that people who have happy friends have a greater chance of being happy. And if the happy friends are closer to you, you will be happier. For example, a person’s happi-ness rises by 20% if a happy friend lives within 1.5 kilometers. Having a happy neighbor makes the chance of being happy higher by 34%. The effects of friends’ happiness last for up to a year.
The researchers found that happiness is re-ally contagious. Sadness also spreads among friends, but not as much as happiness. The study shows that having an extra five thousand dollars increases a person’s chances of becoming happier by about 2%. But the effect of a friend’s happi-ness could in fact be greater than that.
The study also shows that people are happier when having happy friends than having good col-leagues(同事).
