  • Spending just 10 minutes talking to another person can help improve your memory and your performance on tests, according to a University of Michigan study to be published in the February 2008 issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
  • The higher the level of participants' social interaction, researchers found, the better their cognitive functioning.
  • The findings also suggest that social isolation may have a negative effect on intellectual abilities as well as emotional well-being. And for a society characterized by increasing levels of social isolation—a trend sociologist Robert Putnam calls "Bowling Alone"—the effects could be far-reaching.

    Talking with friends helps us improve cognitive function. Social isolation do the opposite.

  • What the battle over DSM-5 should make clear to all of us—professional and layman alike—is that psychiatric diagnosis will probably always be laden with uncertainty, that the labels doctors give us for our suffering will forever be at least as much the product of negotiations around a conference table as investigations at a lab bench

The Dramatic Rise of Anxiety and Depression in Children and Adolescents: Is It Connecte... - 4 views

  • Rates of depression and anxiety among young people in America have been increasing steadily for the past fifty to seventy years.
  • Rates of anxiety and depression among children and adolescents were far lower during the Great Depression, during World War II, during the Cold War, and during the turbulent 1960s and early ‘70s than they are today. The changes seem to have much more to do with the way young people view the world than with the way the world actually is.
  • One thing we know about anxiety and depression is that they correlate significantly with people's sense of control or lack of control over their own lives.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Twenge cites evidence that young people today are, on average, more oriented toward extrinsic goals and less oriented toward intrinsic goals than they were in the past. For example, a poll conducted annually of college freshmen shows that most students today list "being well off financially" as more important to them than "developing a meaningful philosophy of life," while the reverse was true in the 1960s and '70s.
  • Twenge suggests that the shift from intrinsic to extrinsic goals represents a general shift toward a culture of materialism, transmitted through television and other media. Young people are exposed from birth on to advertisements and other messages implying that happiness depends on good looks, popularity, and material goods.

    The education system is bases on accumulation of knowledge, tests, grades.  Children are not happy in that system.  There is a dramatic rise in anxiety and depression.  They should play more to learn better.
