Level of happiness depends on genes and lifestyle - scientists


The level of man's happiness is partly determined by personality traits, and this is mainly due to genes, according to British experts from the University of Edinburgh

Scientists to these conclusions led the study 900 pairs of identical and nonidentical twins. Identical twins have identical genes, and fraternal - not, and university staff tried to find out how much the genes are determined by their individual traits. It is reported MedicInform.Net

Scientists interested in people who do not have the habit of worry, communicative and responsible. In other studies, all three of these components were associated with a feeling of happiness or well-being, since they serve as a buffer in case a person is in a stressful situation.

The results showed that the genes may be responsible, at least for half of the character traits that make us happy. The second half is related to lifestyle, career and relationships. Those who inherit certain genes of predisposition to happiness, get emotional reserve, which is implemented in times of distress and accelerates the recovery of human, scientists say.
