Answer 1

No,money don't have any kind of effect on the happiness of people.Because as we can see here all the three groups are given different different ammount of money but when they are asked to rate their mood on the meter ,their is very less difference in their happiness mood ratings which signifies that happiness can be brought by money.According to me happiness is of two types physical happiness and mental happiness.Mental happiness all about our internal state of mind ,what situations and circumstances we are going through in our life.But the physical happiness I think can be brought like people nowadays wants to wear good clothes,have a branded mobile phone,car etc..So these all can be brought by money and after getting all this they will be happy.so,if they are asked to rate their mood so surely they would rate good.But,the conclusion is money can please you sometime by providing you goods but It can't make someone happy for a longer period of time.
