Of course, not all social interactions are wholly positive… and co-presence may vary across social groups, time, and space in ways that have implications for health. More questions, more research needed! 📝(5/5)
New paper with @AlyssaWGoldman in @Socius. We use smartphone-based data to examine real-time social networks and health among older adults in Chicago. We ask: Do people feel better when they’re together?! 🧐

Importantly, the health benefits of being together in person are distinct from other measures of connectedness like network size. In fact, participants with small and large networks spent just as much time with someone else (about 45-50% of their time, on average). (4/5)
Grateful to contribute to this discussion about how to combat loneliness, drawing on my research with @AlyssaWGoldman on the importance of local ties and the wonderful work of @OlderAdultsTech to foster connections through technology.
