All kinds of procedures have been used to allow participants to feel happy, including having the feel of fresh flowers, read positive affirmations ("I'm really a good person"), eating chocolate cake, dance, or watch a movie funny. Sometimes, the experimenters used the ruse, telling participants that they had performed particularly well on an IQ test or ensure that they "accidentally" found some money in the street. Regardless of the method used, the overall result was clear—happiness doesn’t just flow from success; it actually causes it.
