A new 30-year study shows that unhappy people watch an estimated 20% more television than happy people. The study was conducted by John Robinson and Steven Martin from the University of Maryland. Robinson and Martin examined the activity patterns of people in the General Social Survey between 1975 and 2006, and determined that happy people read more newspapers, attend more religious services, socialize more, and are more likely to vote.
The question is- Is television making people depressed or are unhappy people drawn to the television? What do you think?
