A recent Applied Psychology review of 160
studies examining emotional health and longevity found «clear and compelling» evidence that
people who have a feeling of well - being
in their life —
people who maintain an optimistic perspective, have harmonious relationships, and minimize stress — outlive those who are
anxious, pessimistic, depressed, manic, stressed out, or unable to enjoy daily existence.
In a
study of 118 male and female college students,
people who had either the
anxious - ambivalent or avoidant attachment styles also had more irrational beliefs about their relationship than those with a secure adult attachment style.
