Many studies have shown that few events
in life have a lasting impact on subjective well-being because of peoples tendency to adapt quickly pg.324
I think theres some truth behind this
statement but I cant completely agree. I think depending on the circumstance of the situation depends how it affects a person.
those events that do have a lasting
impact tend to be negative. Pg.324
I completely agree, as sad as it is, people
tend to remember negative events more then positive ones.
shifting focus from the impact of major
I agree with this statement because major
life changes on well-being to the impact of
seemingly minor repeated behaviors is crucial for understanding how best to improve well-being. Pg.325
events are important but minor events, added
all together, do have an affect as well.
well-being has been shown to affect the
behavior of individuals. Pg.325
I think this is true because I know depending
on how I am feeling depends on my mood which changes my behavior.
People in positive moods have also been
shown to be more creative pg.325
I can see this as being true. I know when
good things are happening to me, I tend to be more open minded about things.
positive relation between workers stable
happiness and their work performance. Pg.325
Id believe it. Working in a place you dont like
or if your just unhappy in general, you arent going to work very hard.
the term hedonic treadmill to describe
the now widely accepted notion that though people continue to accrue experiences and objects that make them happyor unhappy their overall level of well-being tends to remain fairly static. Pg.326
I dont agree with this because you have the
power to change yourself. If your unhappy you have the power to do something about it.
When people experience a positive event,
two effects take place: in the short run, wellbeing increases; in the long run, however, people habituations to their new circumstances, which diminishes the positive effect of that event. Pg.326
I somewhat agree with this concept. I think in
the beginning your happiness and well-being increase but after a while those feelings go away because you get use to them.
there seems to be little people can do to
increase their well-being. Pg.327
I dont think this is true. I think you have the
power to change whatever you want about yourself.
that shifting from focus on the impact of
major life events to focus on minor life events the kinds of small activities people partake in every day offers insight into how people might increase their well-being. Pg.328
I somewhat agree focusing on small events
going good can help with negative events happening later.
