Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky from the University of California asked participants in a study to perform random acts of kindness over ten weeks. She found happiness increased over the study period, although there was a catch: (1) People who performed a wide variety of kind acts—holding the door open for a stranger, doing a flatmate"s dishes—reported much higher levels of happiness, even one month after the study ended, than people who performed one act of kindness repeatedly. (2) It makes no difference to your happiness if you help a loved one or a stranger, but it may have different results. (3) "A small, anonymous act might make you feel like a very good person. But a big act of kindness towards someone you know may have social consequences: you might meet a new friend, or be generously thanked, " says Professor Lyubomirsky. So paying for a stranger"s coffee may give you a temporary buzz, but helping an elderly neighbour to shop may help you forge a better relationship. Kindness is good for you in other ways. Professor Stephen Post, author of Why Good Things Happen to Good People, has examined the evidence that being kind is good for your health. (4) A study of 2, 016 church members found those who regularly helped others had better mental health and lower rates of depression. (5) Other studies found helpful people were less likely to fall ill from chronic disease, and tended to have better immune systems. " A strong correlation exists between the wellbeing, happiness and health of people who are kind, " says Post.

【正确答案】 1、正确答案: (1)人们多种多样的善举——为陌生人扶住门、帮室友洗碗——带给人的幸福感比重复的单一善举要高很多,而且这种幸福感甚至持续到研究结束一个月后。 (2)帮助你所爱的人或陌生人带来的幸福感没有区别,但是结果可能不同。 (3)“一次微不足道的匿名善举可能会让你觉得自己是个好人。不过,向你认识的人施善会产生社会效应:你可能因此结交一位新朋友,或被涌泉相报。” (4)一项针对2016位教会成员的研究发现:经常帮助别人的人心理更加健康,患抑郁症的机率更低。 (5)其他研究发现,乐于助人的人往往免疫系统较好,不容易罹患慢性疾病。波斯特认为:“善良的人,其幸福感和健康状况之间存在着很大的关联性。”
