　　Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to recent surveys，sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very happy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable，nor is a person in a clearly ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

　　A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute，they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

　　The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school，and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

　　Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the seriously disabled or those in pain.Learning to deal with a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those with a good material life are happier in general，but those who have a loving，affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on material alone.Love has a closer relationship with happiness than any other factor.
