People grow happier as they age. It’s a phenomenon you may have noticed in your own life, and now research backs it up, say scientists who’ve just completed one of the longest-ever psychological studies.
The study, which started more than half a century ago, followed 200 people from childhood through adolescence, early adulthood, middle age and retirement. By checking up on them every 10 years and measuring 73 personality traits at each visit, psychologists were able to track women through first jobs, new marriages, midlife crises and menopause.
