People who
feel a strong sense of belonging to social groups are much happier than those
who do not. Researchers studied the extent to which almost 4,000 participants
felt connected to certain groups, and then measured the impact this had upon
their levels of happiness. The study found that the more an individual
identified with a particular group, the happier they were with their life. With
each additional group that people connected with, their happiness increased by
nine percent.
