If ask satisfaction first (-. 12) negative correlation. If ask dating first (+0. 66) correlated extremely strongly: the more they dated, the more satisfied they are with life, answering the second question depends on how easily and what comes to mind.

If 80% priming with aggressiveness, then almost 90% hostile: automatic effects on social judgment (bargh & peitromonaco, 1982, step 1: vigilance task , words flashed on screen for 100 ms followed by mask (x"s) -- Lack of effort: sequential priming studies, practiced so often ex. Reading: prime related to target speeds up processing, association automatically speeds responding to the second stimulus.
