Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Research tends to show that happiness, or subjective well-being, leads to the kinds of
behaviors that bring about success (Boehm & Lyubomirsky, 2008). People high in subjective well-being are more likely to secure job interviews, to be evaluated more positively by supervisors once they obtain a job, and to show superior performance and productivity (Lyubomirsky, King, & Diener, 2005, p. .

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Seligman attended to a private prep school in Albany, New York; most of the students came from wealthy upper-class families and Seligman felt like an outsider. He was keenly aware of the differences between him and the other boys, and as a result felt isolated and alone.
