They show that #trust, as measured in an #experimental trust game, significantly predicts self-reported trust.
This finding sheds a positive light on the debate about the external validity of social preferences games.

NEW: people worry when they hear "40% of hospitalisations are fully vaxxed", but this chart shows that's actually good news.

The more people you vaccinate, the higher their share of hospitalisations, but the *total* number in hospital is a fraction of what it would otherwise be

This widening #GenderGap in #mental health cannot be explained by the lower than usual earnings, working less than usual, unemployment, struggling with bills, or change in work patterns or hours spent on childcare.

"We're setting people up for failure by saying 'we're back to normal.' What exactly is 'back to normal'? The beach is open. OK. How does that impact the fact that we're processing an entire year of a lot of things going wrong?
