1．Are people less or more happy when they get older？A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50.In fact，it found that by the age of 85，people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.（1）
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.（2）
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
