最近的一项研究报告的证据表明，幸福是传染性的，通过社交网络传播（福勒和克里斯塔基斯，2008年）。然而，过去对双胞胎的研究（例如，Lykken & Tellegen，1996）得出结论，共享环境对幸福感几乎没有影响。我们使用了来自615个收养和非收养家庭的纵向数据来解决这种差异。如果幸福是会传染的，那么家庭成员应该有相似的幸福水平，即使他们在基因上彼此并不相似。然而，我们发现，当家庭成员没有遗传关系时，家庭成员的幸福水平与所有评估中的目标幸福水平无关。此外，生物统计学建模产生的χ 2估计值与零无差异。
A recent study reported evidence that happiness is contagious, spread through social networks (Fowler & Christakis, 2008). However, past research with twins (eg, Lykken & Tellegen, 1996) concluded that the shared environment has little to no influence on well-being. We used longitudinal data from 615 adoptive and nonadoptive families to address this discrepancy. If happiness is contagious, then family members should have similar levels of happiness even when they are not genetically similar to one another. However, we found that the happiness level of family members was unrelated to the target level of happiness at all assessments when family members were not genetically related. In addition, biometrical modeling produced an estimate of χ 2 that was not different from zero.
