The most frequently cited of these experiences were then put to a separate set of 80 students whose task was to say how many times in the last two weeks they had lived through something similar, and to estimate how often their peers had. The important finding here was that the students consistently underestimated their peers' experience of negative events whilst slightly over-estimating their peers' experience of positive situations.

其中最普遍的经历被分发给另外80名同学，然后记录他们过去两周经历过类似事件的频率，并猜测同龄人经历的频率。这项重要的结果显示学生们都低估了同龄人经历负面情绪，而且稍微高估了正面情绪的经历。

A final study showed that students with a greater tendency to underestimate their peers' negative emotions also tended to feel more lonely, less satisfied with life and to ruminate more, thus suggesting that underestimating others' misery could be harmful to our own well-being. Of course the causal direction could run the other way (i.e. being lonely and discontented could predispose us to think everyone else is happier than they are)， or both ways. The researchers acknowledged more research is needed to test this.

一项最终的研究表明惯于低估同龄人负面情绪体验的学生往往更容易感觉孤单，对生活不满，更容易沉思多虑，这表明低估他人的烦恼对自身也有坏处，反之亦然，即孤单和不满可能让我们更容易觉得别人比自己更快乐，二者也可能会相互作用。然而研究人员称需要进一步研究才能证明。
