| Description | The ensuing research has revealed that positive emotions serve a wide range of essential human needs. Happier people have better physical health, live longer and are more successful, creative, and socially connected. Emotions are a subclass of affective phenomena. Affect is a neurophysiological state that is subjectively experienced as being pleasant versus unpleasant and being sleepy versus activated. Beyond building psychological resilience, positive emotions may also build behavioral and biological resources that benefit physical health. The effects of positive emotions on well-being may depend on a person's cultural context. Cultures have different conceptions of well-being, and as such, well-being appears to be attained by pursuing diverging goals. Ample evidence has shown that negative emotions narrow attention and cognition, and trigger specific action tendencies. An increasing body of research has supported the broaden-and-build theory by shedding light on the causal effect of positive emotions on well-being via biological and psychological pathways.
