Exploring Psychology

Just finished reading a fascinating research article by John T. Cacioppo et al, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology which examines the placement and spread of loneliness through social networks.

Among the study's findings were that the spread of loneliness was found to be stronger than the spread of perceived social connections, stronger for friends than family members, and stronger for women than for men.
