In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were caught colds less often. And they seldom told their doctors that they felt .
In this study, Cohen’s team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. In this , the people told researchers about happy or sad feelings that day. Two weeks later, all of them were made to catch colds by doctors, and they had to stay in a room for six days.
The results that each in the study was equal (平等的) to fall ill. people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy during the research. Their illnesses were less serious and lasted for a time.
