Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that each individual has a happiness set point, which is a baseline level of happiness that individuals tend to return to after experiencing positive or negative events. While there may be temporary fluctuations in happiness levels, they tend to return to this set point over time. Therefore, option A is the best answer. Option B is incorrect as happiness levels can fluctuate unpredictably. Option C may be true to some extent, but it is not directly related to the question. Option D refers to a feeling of dissatisfaction that arises when individuals feel they are worse off compared to others, and is not directly related to the level of happiness fluctuations.
