Jarrod reports feeling that his life is going well overall. He experiences many desirable and pleasant emotions on a daily basis, but also has battled with anger and worry since he had children. What level of subjective well-being (SWB) might we say that Jarrod holds?

a. very high SWB, because having children increases health and happiness

b. moderately high SWB, because you can still have some negative emotions and be happy

c. moderately low SWB, because anger and worry drain happiness and life satisfaction

d. very low SWB, because Jarrod's negative emotions interfere with his responsibilities and happiness
