20141002 哈佛大學投放75年的大型研究計畫成果 - 心滿意足的經驗

The Grant Study is part of the Study of Adult Development at Harvard Medical School
1938 年,哈佛大學開始了一個名為「Grant Study」的大型研究計畫,經歷 75 年後,他們持續追蹤 268 位哈佛畢業生,觀察他們的人生際遇,試圖去找出人的行為與他們的健康、成就、壽命等之間的關係。 這個研究在 1980 年由 George Vaillant 教授接手,經歷 30 年後,Vaillant 教授決定把 Grant Study 的種種發現,寫成「Triumphs of Experience」一書,與世人分享。 本篇透過Business Insider 的搶先書摘將書裡面關於「幸福人生」的分析結果分享:

酗酒是被實驗所追蹤男人們與老婆離婚最重要的因子
“Alcoholism was the main cause of divorce between the Grant Study men and their wives." 

酗酒與神經官能症、憂鬱症高度正相關
it was strongly correlated with neurosis and depression 

酗酒加上煙癮是早期疾病與死亡的重要因子
 it was the single greatest contributor to their early morbidity and death. 

IQ 110-115 的人與 150 以上的人所賺取的最高所得並沒有差異
There was no significant difference in maximum income earned by men with IQs in the 110–115 range and men with IQs higher than 150. 

政治傾向與人生滿足感沒有任何關係
 Political ideology had no bearing on life satisfaction 

- 童年時與母親關係「溫暖」的人,平均每年比冷漠家庭長大的人多賺62萬港幣
 Men who had “warm” childhood relationships with their mothers earned an average of $87,000 more a year than men whose mothers were uncaring. 

童年與母親關係不好的人,年老後比較容易痴呆 Men who had poor childhood relationships with their mothers were much more likely to develop dementia when old. 

在職涯的後半段,童年與母親關係良好的人相對表現比較良好,但與父親的關係沒有影響 Late in their professional lives, the men’s boyhood relationships with their mothers—but not with their fathers—were associated with effectiveness at work. 

童年時與父親的關係,會讓成年後的人較不易憂慮,較享受假期,並且在 75 歲時有較高的「人生滿足感」,而這又與媽媽的關係沒有影響 換句話說,哈佛大學花了 75 年的時間研投入2000萬美元經費的研究發現,幸福人生的祕密,就是簡單5個字 『幸福就是「愛」』。
“The seventy-five years and twenty million dollars expended on the Grant Study points … to a straightforward five-word conclusion: ‘Happiness is love. Full stop.’ ” 

今日是不是體會了什麼?
