Detailed explanation-1: -The strongest positive correlation between an observed behavior and happiness was being physically active (r = . 32), followed by being cheerful (r = . 28), and appearing to regard self as physically attractive (r = . 27).

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, people in a positive mood tend to choose less risky options (Isen and Patrick 1983), more variety across options (Kahn and Isen 1993), and more prosocial alternatives (Fishbach and Labroo 2007; Oishi, Diener, and Lucas 2007).

Detailed explanation-3: -Happiness and mental health are enhanced by compan-ionship and social support; such social activities require cooperation and coordination of behaviour. Activities with friends are one of the main sources of joy (Scherer, Wallbott & Summerfield, 1986).

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive psychology-considered the science of happiness-makes a distinction between happiness and authentic happiness (well-being). The theory suggests that happiness can be described as three distinct elements chosen for their own sakes: positive emotion, engagement, and meaning.
