Humans
in strong social relationships are more likely to live longer because social relationships may protect us from life's stressors, Blumstein said.
The new relationships that started at the learning core
create stronger social relationships within the school system, and in a very real sense democratize the institution, since the newly discovered power of every learner commands the process.
Brian explains how the activity in social is just a part of the whole, that empathy and emotional listening (not just monitoring) is really the heart of
building strong social relationships that will be mutually beneficial in the long haul..
A meta - analysis of 148 studies, including 300,000 people studied over seven years, found that people
with strong social relationships had an increased likelihood of survival (yep, they were less likely to die) than those with weaker social relationships.
And if that's not enough, people who don't have
strong social relationships are 50 % less likely to survive at any given time than those who do.
We've long known that
strong social relationships can actually prolong our lives.
Research by Julianne Holt - Lunstad and colleagues from the US showed that people with
stronger social relationships have a 50 % increased likelihood of avoiding a premature death than those with poor social relationships.
Although illness may result in poorer or more restricted social relationships (social isolation resulting from physical confinement), such that individuals closer to death may have decreased social support compared to healthy individuals, the findings from these studies indicate that general community samples with
strong social relationships are likely to remain alive longer than similar individuals with poor social relations.
Research demonstrates that the happiest people are those with
the strongest social relationships.
