New equation reveals how other people’s fortunes affect our happiness

https://www.mpg.de/10604496/happiness-equation-updated

A new equation, showing how our happiness depends not only on what happens to us but also how this compares to other people, has been developed by UCL researchers funded by Wellcome. The team developed an equation to predict happiness in 2014, highlighting the importance of expectations*, and the new updated equation also takes into account other people’s fortunes.

„Where there’s life, there’s evolution!“

https://www.mpg.de/12717900/darwin-day-evolution

Celebrations are held on the 12th of February each year to commemorate the birthday of Charles Darwin, the 19th-century British naturalist, who achieved major insights into the process of evolution thereby completely revolutionising traditional concepts of life on earth and human’s position in it. For Diethard Tautz and Paul Rainey of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and Ralf Sommer of the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, Darwin laid the foundations for evolutionary science, a field of research, which no longer solely considers the past but, instead, increasingly looks to the future.
This is because life will find similar ways of adapting to  the same kinds of environmental

„Actually, locusts don’t really like each other“

East Africa is currently being plagued by the largest swarms of locusts in decades. In some regions of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, the insects have almost completely destroyed the harvest. Iain Couzin investigates animal swarms at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior and the University of Constance. Years ago, he almost died in Africa in search of swarming desert locusts.
These do not fly, but all run in the same direction.

Impact of Using Multiple Social Media Channels on Well-Being

https://www.mpg.de/20622069/impact-of-using-multiple-social-media-channels-on-well-being

Social media have become an integral part of everyday life. However, numerous studies have produced conflicting results on how the use of these applications affects the mental health of their users. A common assumption is that the use of many different social media platforms has a negative impact on users‘ well-being. Researchers Sophie Lohmann and Emilio Zagheni, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, investigated this assumption. In their study, they used a statistical technique to adjust for the fact that people who use a number of social media platforms may be different to start with. The result of the study shows that the use of many different social media platforms is not a significant risk factor for the well-being of the users.
In essence, we reweighted the sample and simulated that each participant had the same

In the online world users’ attention is a precious currency, and online environments are designed to capture and steer that attention. Yet users and legislators currently have little to say in how these environments are regulated and controlled; How can we respond to these challenges of the digital age and how might the design of the online world be improved? A team of researchers addressed these questions from the perspective of behavioral science and now propose some answers.
At the same time, it presents both individuals and societies with major challenges
