What makes people happier, money or having happy friends and neighbors? Scientists have found an
answer as part of a study.
The new study found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.
And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other"s happiness (幸
福).
For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend living within one and a half
kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased a chance of being
happy by 34%. The effects (影响) of friends" happiness lasted for up to a year.
The scientists found sadness (悲伤) also spread (传播) among friends, but not as much as happiness.
People take three degrees out of separation (间隔) still had an effect on a person"s happiness. Three
degrees of separation means the friend of a friend of a friend .
The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased a person"s chances of becoming
happier by about 2%. But the scientists found that the influence of a friend of a friend of a friend can be
greater than that.
Another finding is that people who are married or work together do not have as much of an effect on
happiness as friends do.
