Research topic 1, findings, and implication

Research topic 2, findings, and implication

In one of Johnson's studies, "How money buys happiness: Genetic and environmental processes linking finances and life satisfaction", she establishes whether or not money leads to happiness. In this study, she took a sample of 719 pairs of twins and looked at their financial statues. She found that having absolute power over life is key to happiness, opposed to affluence by itself. This means that a person having full control of his or her life is likely to be substantially happier than someone who has money but has no control over his or her life.

Research topic 3, findings, and implication

Johnson's study on "The determinants of leadership role occupancy: Genetic and personality factors", tested to determine if identical twin males and fraternal twin males have similar personality traits based on their genetic similarities and differences. It was found that while genetics attributed to differences in personality, there was no concrete evidence to prove that genetics bring about such differences in the role of leadership.
