Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Happiness has been shown to decline for husbands and for wives following the birth of their first child. In general, people who do not have children report greater happiness than people with children; those with very young children express the least happiness (Munsey, 2010).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: A study on older Germans hospitalized with various disabilities found that it was not the physical impairments that decreased subjective well-being as much as the person's attitude toward the infirmity. People with more positive attitudes scored higher in subjective well-being than those who expressed negative attitudes (Schneider, Driesch, Kruse, Nehen, & Heuft, 2006).
