    Lottery wins do increase happiness after all, throwing over results of a seminal psychology study. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-15835-4_3 …pic.twitter.com/z3VRzThGRX

        I don't have access to the paper. But wouldn't the initial euphoria return to the initial set point after some time?

        The paper measures happiness a year later. In the classic study, happiness gains were said to be absent after 6 months.

        Want to really twist your noodle? (perhaps) replication & peer review would never work.https://twitter.com/zerdeve/status/1173843757701033985?s=09 …

        Man the research here is all over the place. There's: Lottery winners become bankrupt, people who make 1mm-10mm each think that doubling their $ will make them happier, and this... I throw in the towel!

        Brickman (1978) data were obtained at a single point in time in Illinois. n= 22 Oswald (2019) is a longitudinal study with data from German participants. The differences between the studies are manifold. It's not as easy as stating the original study is not replicable.

        Jonny- Google Scholar can be your new friend. Study design- longitudinal (2019) vs cross-sectional (1978). Demographics- German vs Illinois Also, note the almost 40-year difference between the time of publication for each. Differences and nuances between both studies.

        In related news - grants are being given to study the psychology of lottery winners. To what benefit of taxpayers?
