You have to be careful about interpreting studies like this. From my counseling experience being a therapist, I can usually predict which clients are happier. The sure sign is whether they have good groups of friends or family they feel that support them. Just the fact that people socialize more usually improves mood. This hightened mood removes the need for less emotional escape, in the form of passive television viewing.
