Let me summarize two studies there into one.
我把這兩個研究合總結在一起
So what they did was essentially take random group of people and divide them into four groups.
他們的研究就是隨機挑出一組人,把他們分成四組
First group every night before going to bed write at least five things for which you are grateful.
第一組每天晚上睡覺前都要寫下至少五次他們感激的事
Big things, or little things.
大事小事都行
Second group write at least five hassels in your life-five bad things that happen to you.
第二組寫下至少五件生活中遇到的與別人的爭吵,壞事
Third group write at least five things that you are better than others at- superior to others.
第三組寫下至少五個你比別人優秀的地方
And the fourth group- control group write about anything that happen to you during the day.
第四組是對照組,他們可以隨便寫下一天中遇到的任何事
The outcome measures are that they looked at what optimism, happiness, physical health
測量標準是看他們的樂觀,幸福程度,身體健康程度

(how often they visited the doctor of the six months of the study, one of the studies),
(過去參加這個研究的六個月他們多久去看一次醫生)
how generous and benevolent they were toward other people and finally how likely they were to achieve their goals that they set for themselves,
他們對別人有多慷慨和仁慈,最后還有他們達成目標的可能性,他們為自己設下的目標
in other words, how successful they were.
也就是說他們有多成功
The group that performed the worst was the hassels group.
結果最差的那組是與人爭吵的那組
Five bad things that happen to you.
生活中發生的五件壞事
The group that performed the best that is happist, most optimistic, most likely to achieve their goals,
結果最好的那組,最快樂的那組,最樂觀,最有可能達成目標
most generous and benevolent toward other people and healthist, was the group every night before going to bed wrote at least five things for which they were grateful.
對別人最大方最仁慈,最健康的那組就是每晚睡覺前寫下他們感激的至少五件事的那組
Both psychological and health benefits.
對身體和心理都有好處
