After basic needs (e.g., food) are fulfilled, money no longer plays a notable role in increasing happiness. We hypothesized that, after the basic needs are satiated, social needs will emerge as a more potent predictor of happiness. In support of this idea, perceptions of social support and happiness correlated more strongly among individuals with high than low income (Study 1). In Study 2, this idea was tested at a University cafeteria setting to increase the external validity of this phenomenon. As expected, manipulating one’s social relationship quality had a more visible impact on happiness after rather than before one’s meal. Findings from these two studies collectively suggest that after basic needs are fulfilled (sufficient income, Study 1; after a meal, Study 2), the importance of social needs in happiness increases.
