Feeling more happy than usual this particular Friday? You should be, according to a scholar in seasonal disorders at a British university. Cliff Arnall of Cardiff University has analysed such factors as outdoor activities, nature, social interaction, childhood memories, temperature and holidays -- data gathered over a period of 15 years in interviews with 3,000 people around the world. His conclusion: June 23 is the happiest day of the year. "People across borders experience happiness when they meet with friends and family and establish close social relationships," the University of Cardiff academic said. "We need some close emotional ties." He used what he considers a "simple equation" to reach his conclusion -- O + (N x S) + Cpm/T + He. O stands for outdoor activities, N for nature, S for social interaction, Cpm for childhood summers and positive memories, T for temperature and He for holidays and looking forward to time off. Arnall has already figured out the saddest day of the year. It was January 23 -- a Monday. "Surprise, surprise", he quipped. |
上周五這一天，你是否感到要比平常快樂(lè)呢？從英國(guó)一所大學(xué)的學(xué)者進(jìn)行的季節(jié)性情緒失調(diào)研究來(lái)看，你的答案應(yīng)該是肯定的。 加的夫大學(xué)的克里夫·阿諾爾對(duì)戶外活動(dòng)、自然、社會(huì)交往、童年記憶、溫度和假期等因素進(jìn)行了研究分析。他在15年間訪問(wèn)了世界各地的3000個(gè)人收集了研究所需的數(shù)據(jù)。 通過(guò)分析，他得出結(jié)論：6月23日是這一年中最快樂(lè)的一天。 這位加的夫大學(xué)教授說(shuō)：“世界各地的人們?cè)诤团笥选⒓胰讼嘁?jiàn)，以及與他人建立了密切的社會(huì)關(guān)系時(shí)，都會(huì)感到愉快。人們需要某些密切的情感聯(lián)系。” 他的結(jié)論來(lái)自一個(gè)他所謂的“簡(jiǎn)單公式”：O + (N x S) + Cpm/T + He。 其中，O代表戶外活動(dòng)，N代表自然，S指社會(huì)交往，Cpm指童年時(shí)的夏日和美好回憶，T代表溫度，He代表假期以及對(duì)假期的期待。 阿諾爾還曾用公式計(jì)算出這一年中最郁悶的一天，結(jié)論是1月23日，一個(gè)星期一。他打趣地說(shuō)：“奇事，實(shí)在是奇事。” |
