Is it true that strong social relationships cause happiness?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one peer-reviewed source reports a causal impact of social relationships on health and mortality, and two others examine happiness alongside relational or inflammatory variables, but none directly establishes that strong social relationships cause happiness.
