The article looks at how feelings of happiness and life satisfaction are linked to positive and negative emotions. The researchers found that positive emotions are more closely tied to happiness, while negative emotions are more linked to life satisfaction. They also discovered that certain positive emotions predict both happiness and life satisfaction, but negative emotions that predict happiness are different from those that predict life satisfaction. This suggests that people use their emotions to judge how satisfied they are with life. The results are based on a small sample size, so more research is needed to confirm these findings.
