I have been asked to come up with a list of facts relating to (positive) psychology; ie, research shows x... or study demonstrates y. If you have any that can would assist, please contribute. Also, include any links if you have them. Here's some examples:
.
- Within a few years, paraplegics wind up only slightly less happy on average than individuals who are not paralysed
- A study of 22 people who won major lotteries found that they reverted to their baseline level of happiness over time, winding up no happier than 22 matched controls
- Women who are active in sports and recreational activities as girls, feel greater confidence, self-esteem and pride in their physical and social selves, than those who were sedentary as kids.
.
