Humans are kind of like rabbits social creatures with individual personalities (via theHouse Rabbit Society).
And, like bunnies, humans require social interaction.
In fact, according to the researchers at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology, humans “crave” interaction.
So, what does this mean?
Social relationships have a behavioral, psychosocial, and physiological influence on our health.
Researchers at theUniversity of Texas at Austinrecommend calling your friends and family members in lieu of email or text.
This is because text-based messaging (IM,email, SMS, etc.)
is missing the “back-and-forth contextualization” and tone that you’d receive via a spoken conversation.
Another way to boost yoursocial connection in a positive wayis to get active.
