As William Chopik, associate professor of psychology and author of the study says: "Friends are a conscious choice. Family relationships can be serious, negative and monotonous." The research included two studies - one a broad survey of nearly 300,000 people, aged between 15 and 99, from more than 90 countries. This study found that those (71) valued friendships highly were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older. The second study used data from a us survey of 7,481 people over 50. Subjects were questioned about the quality of their friendships - how much friends understood them and how much they let them down. When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported (72) rates of disease. When friends were supportive, people were healthier. Most of the friendships were reported as being supportive. Family, (73) , were found to have little influence on an individual's health and wellbeing. Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as friends. Chopik says he isn't suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better. "With friends you are more likely (74) do activities – they provide an outlet. You can say things to friends and they are less judgmental. There is a distance there that provides a level of honesty." He says that cultivating good-quality friendships across our lives is beneficial - raising self-esteem and (75) against stress.
