I was thinking at first that it was ridiculous to examine questions about a life "well lived" through people who haven't lived too much of one (ages 18-28), but then I wondered if people actually maintain the same relative level of "social-ness" throughout their lives. For example, let's say in your twenties, people who are "very social" have 10-20 friends whom they see often, but in your sixties, people who are in the "very social" category typically have 5-10 friends that they see often. My thought is actually that once you are in a particular "category" of socialness, you probably continue having that same level of socialness throughout your life. Probably very social people in this study were also very social at age 5-10 - so maybe age doesn't matter. I am assuming that all people are less social as they grow older - but I actually don't know if this is true.
