If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study published two years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.随着人们年龄的增长，他们会越来越沮丧还是越来越开心呢？如果你的回答是“越来越开心”，那么依据两年前的一份研究结果，你的回答是对的。这份研究发现，人普遍在50岁之后变得更高兴而且越来越不感到忧虑。事实上，研究发现，人们在85岁时会比他们在18岁的时候生活得更幸福。
这些结果来自2008年的一项盖洛普民意调查。来自美国的超过340000人参与了这项调查。在调查开始的那年，这些被调查者的年龄在18岁到85岁之间。
来自纽约石溪大学精神病学和行为科学部的阿瑟·斯通领导了这项研究。他的团队发现，年龄在22到25岁之间的人承受的压力程度最高。然而，当他们到50多岁的时候，压力程度就会锐减。
刚成年以及刚过70的人们幸福感最高。但是，据说人们在70岁到80多岁时拥有消极情绪的可能性最小。
调查同时也发现，随着年龄的增长，男性和女性在对快乐和压力的感受上拥有相似的模式。但是，在各个年龄段，女性会经历更多悲伤、压力以及忧虑。
