Believing Happiness Can Change Boosts Well‑Being, Study Finds
A Seoul National University study of over 7,000 adults showed that people who see happiness as a changeable state report higher overall well‑being than those who view it as fixed. Participants who treated happiness as predetermined were less happy and less responsive to major events such as the pandemic, suggesting that beliefs about happiness act as a self‑fulfilling prophecy.
Researchers analyzed responses from 38,000 participants across 30 countries and found that a strong sense of connection to nature consistently predicts higher well‑being, hope, purpose and resilience. The findings provide the most extensive cross‑cultural evidence yet that nature contact is a universal driver of mental health.
