Description

A new study from Northwestern shows human beings around the world experience loneliness at similar times in life. The findings show that on average loneliness moves in a U-shaped pattern: highest in young people and older adults and lowest in middle adulthood.
Reset discusses loneliness and how we can better address the feeling individually and collectively with study co-author and associate professor Eileen Graham and associate professor at the Family Institute at Northwestern University Michele Kerulis.
