The time of birth affects the level of happiness

Contrary to the notion of a grumpy, uncomfortable elderly, a new US study shows happiness increases with age, according to the Daily Mail.

However, those born in times of difficult and satisfying lives are not as high as those born in peacetime and prosperity.

Psychologist scientist Angelina Sutin at the State University of Flordia (USA) and his colleagues gave the above conclusion after analyzing two data of thousands of Americans in the past 30 years.

Researchers found older people not as wealthy as young and middle-aged people.

But when considering the time of birth, they found a trend: Satisfaction of life increased with the age of all study participants.

This trend remains unchanged as researchers consider factors such as health, gender, ethnicity, and education.

However, they found that those born in the early 20th century, especially during the Great Depression (1929-1933) had much lower satisfaction levels than those born during the prosperous development. .

Researchers believe that those born in the second half of the 20th century feel more satisfied with their lives thanks to economic prosperity, increased learning opportunities and many social improvements.

New research is published in the journal Psychological Science.
