One hypothesis in positive psychology research is that helping people actually increases happiness (the
more we help others, the happier we feel). Imagine that researchers went out, randomly selected a
sample of people, and then measured each person's level of helpfulness and their level of happiness.
Using their sample, they found a correlation between helpfulness and happiness, R = 0.40.
