It can be inferred from the passage that ----.
Research reveals that a changing character can
influence life satisfaction even more than economic
disturbance. A study investigated how evolving
character traits relate to life satisfaction. Researchers
assessed 8,625 people aged 15 to 93 at two points, four
years apart. They measured the Big Five personality
traits (openness to experience, agreeableness,
conscientiousness, extroversion and neuroticism) and
tracked fluctuations in external aspects of subjects’
lives, including marital status, income and employment
status. The data reveal that the participants’ character
changed during those four years at least as much as
demographic factors, such as marital status or
employment. And those small personality shifts were
more closely tied to life satisfaction than the other
indicators were. For instance, people who grew less
agreeable reported less fulfilled in life than they had felt
four years earlier, whereas those who became more
open reported greater contentment. This study did not
attempt to find out what caused the subjects’
personalities to transform, but other recent work has
shown that certain experiences can change specific
traits. For instance, psychological trauma – such as that
experienced by combat soldiers – has been linked with
decreases in agreeableness and conscientiousness
