本实验旨在确定善良行为和新奇行为对生活满意度的影响。18-60岁的参与者自愿参加。他们被随机分配做一些善意的行为，做一些新奇的行为，或者在10天内每天不做任何事情。他们的生活满意度在10天的实验前后进行了测量。正如预期的那样，表现出善意或新奇的行为会增加生活满意度。
The present experiment was designed to establish the effects of acts of kindness and acts of novelty on life satisfaction. Participants aged 18-60 took part on a voluntary basis. They were randomly assigned to perform either acts of kindness, acts of novelty, or no acts on a daily basis for 10 days. Their life satisfaction was measured before and after the 10-day experiment. As expected, performing acts of kindness or acts of novelty resulted in an increase in life satisfaction.
