In life, time and money are rare resources, and they will bring happiness to people, but if you only choose the same one, what would you choose?
In modern society, it seems possible to use money to buy happiness, but it cannot be said that money is everything. A recent study shows that is happier than money.
2016.6 Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania recently conducted research on the issue of money and time.
This study not only investigates what people have already obtained, but also investigates what people want to study people's sense of happiness. The
study conducted experiments and surveys on more than 4,000 people, and the results showed that two-thirds of the participants would choose to want more money rather than more time. Although most people choose money, on the other hand, the survey also found that the part of people who choose time in are more satisfied with their lives, that is, happier.
However, some people will also question this result. The Washington Post, the American newspaper The Washington Post, pointed out that the relationship and causal relationship still need to be discussed, that is, those who choose more time may already have enough money.
Associate Professor Hershfield, a member of the study, believes that the study also made statistical adjustments to the property participants already owned, and found that compared with the amount of property, the person who chose the time had a greater impact on happiness.
Although research needs further development, there is no doubt that money can indeed make people happy. But with this, still has other more important things that affect happiness , which we need to discover.
