While personality characteristics may influence their preferences for social interaction and alone time, research has shown that having close relationships and social support is a key factor in long-term happiness. Therefore, the fact that they are good friends who are willing to help each other in difficult times is likely to have the greatest impact on their long-term happiness. The other options, such as winning the lottery or having little responsibilities, may provide temporary happiness but are not as likely to contribute to long-term satisfaction with life.
