It was increasingly big that money that was spent by the person to help the peer, or in order to give the gift for the other person, then this philanthropist will get happy.

Won the lottery or the rewarded quiz money billions perhaps were the symbol of the happiness. However, this latest research turned economic knowledge that uptil now was taught for generations upside down this.
The findings showed, that was most important not the amount of money that we had, but how we spent him! The person who donated his money to help them that needed, or shopped for the gift to be given to the other person evidently happier than them who scattered money for satisfaction himself. The related research around 3 years beforehand showed that the rich group a little happier than the poor. But the connection between the wealth and the happiness this was weak, and the expert in economics tried hard to look for the explanation on the question, for example, why in the United States his resident did not become happier when their property was increasingly abundant.
Was like this wrote Elsa Youngsteadt that reviewed results of the research of Elizabeth Dunn in ScienceNOW Daily News, on March 20 2008 with the title of “The Secret to Happiness? Giving”. (the Secret headed Happy? Gave). Results of these same findings were analysed by Brendan Borrell in the scientific magazine famous, Nature, under the title “Money buys happiness. Especially if you give it away. ” (Money bought the happiness. Especially if you Giving).
The researcher, the expert in social psychology, Elizabeth Dunn, in his study wanted to find the financing kind of money like whether actual made the person happy. He and his colleague researched his 109 university students. It was not surprised, most said that they were happier by money 20 dollar compared with only 5 dollar. The students added that they will spend him for himself compared with for the other person.
On the other hand, Dunn and his team gave 46 other students with the envelope contained money 5 dollar or 20 dollar, but did not leave them free chose why this money will be spent. That was carried out by the researcher was to tell them to spend the money for certain matters.
Attracted him, the student who spent money for the human good deed or bought the gift for the other person at the end was happier compared with them that spent for the personal interests, as settling the account or having fun.
Evidently this phenomenon was not valid for the student's circle then. The Dunn research group also carried out the measure of opinion to 16 employees in a company in Boston before and after they got the bonus in a heterogenous manner the mulberry. Moreover Dunn and his colleague gathered the data about the pay, the issuing, and the level of the happiness from 632 people throughout the United States.
His conclusion was really interesting. In the person's two groups, the happiness evidently had his relations by the amount of money that was spent for the other person than the absolute number the bonus or the pay.
Results of these findings “membenarkan our assumption was stronger than that was brave we impikan,” Dunn words. The influence spent money in order to the person's other goodness possibly was similar to sport that had the influence instantly and the long-term impact, explained Dunn as being written by Elsa Youngsteadt.
One time gave possibly made someone happy in a day, but when the habit gave this became a way of life, the impact of the happiness could become very long, explained Dunn.

That did not lose interesting, on the end of his scientific article, the expert, Dunn, hoped that his findings could be at one time made the point to be considered for policy makers in recommending the generosity attitude to his resident who ignored the benefit of this positive attitude. According to him, this in order to create the citizen who tended to give their wealth for the person's other goodness, so as the increase of the resident's wealth be accompanied by increasingly the increase in the resident's happiness of this country.
The expert in economics of Andrew Oswald from University of Warwick, England, recommended that results of this study must be strengthened further by enlarging the number of people who was researched, until approaching 1000 people, so that his conclusion really convincing. Aside from that, Oswald spoke that results of the Dunn research will startle most experts in economics. Because uptil now they believing that spending money for himself gave the biggest happiness. “Ini was results of the findings that made was curious that will not be found by you in 101 textbooks Ekonomi,” Oswald's words.
