Did you know more group discussion in class can boost students’ life satisfaction, attention, and even friendships?
New research by @kelseyoc.bsky.social & Stefano Bartolini shows the benefits—except for girls. Why might that be?

I have long been fascinated by survey research that shows that older people are happier people. But what kind of "happy" are they? Is pleasure or life satisfaction the key to happiness as we age? My latest blog reports on the research:

Are Older People Really Happier Than Younger People?
Survey research and numerous studies indicate that older people are happier people. But how are they happier? Is pleasure or life satisfaction the key as we age?

Life satisfaction is often fleeting, as hedonic adaptation kicks in after major achievements. We should cultivate gratitude and mindfulness to enhance our overall life experience and sustain joy.
