Evidently almost everybody, since nobody has pointed out the broken link here:
"This research also supports the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions by demonstrating that higher levels of happiness may expand an individual’s mindset to include thoughts of others."
Which is a pity, because I thought the meat of the post added a lot to the (already completely awesome!) summary.
(Also: there's a broken link.)
ETA: Also, I see a lot of references to "(Aaker et al 2010)" throughout the post- is that the same as "(Aaker, Rudd, & Mogilner, 2010)," which is only cited once?
Fixed and fixed! How do you have such sharp eyes.
Yes, and I don't learn well from outline-summaries only. I imagine that I would not gain much if I had read only the summary up top. The just-acquired lessons would quickly dissipate without the examples and explanations to reinforce them.
Thanks- I'm just following whatever extracts I find particularly interesting back to the original papers. (I found the bit about spare time leading to happiness particularly interesting, which is how I found the Aaker reference.)
One more thing: In the sentence "Aside from making them happier, you will also improve your relationship with them via the Benjamin Franklin effect, which — unintuitively — makes people like you more if you ask them for favors.", the link to the wikipedia article on the Ben Franklin Effect links to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin_Effect
Instead of to the article here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Franklin_effect
Fixed.
