Age Equals Happiness
Sunday June 18, 2006
A study reported in the Journal of Happiness Studies finds that older people are happier and more contented in their lives than younger people are. The study found they are better able to handle stress and have taken to heart the adage "don't sweat the small stuff".
A limitation noted in the study was that the respondents were all internet users - they would tend to be higher income and education. It also did not look at health status.
