Happy People Watch Less TV, Study Shows [Happiness] (69)
onResearchers at the University of Maryland found the one activity unhappy people do more than happy people is watch TV. The New York Times reports: "We looked at 8 to 10 activities that happy people engage in, and for each one, the people who did the activities more — visiting others, going to church, all those things — were more happy,” Dr. [John] Robinson said. “TV was the one activity that showed a negative relationship. ...Shared by Adam (12) Adam (0) Adrian (2) Alan Levine (0) Alex Dang (0) Andrei Neculau (0) Andy (0) Ben (1) blinddonkey (0) Brian Mazz (27) Brian Megilligan (1) C.G.

- Chad said: The operative word is "activity". Watching TV is inactivity.
- Kamath ॐ said: I get it. Seriously. Now, STFU.
- Alex Dang said: This is true for me. When I'm happier, I tend to watch less TV b/c I'm doing other happier activities.
- Josh said: It's true, I usually only watch 3 shows a week Heros, Mythbusters, and TUF. But when I'm depressed or down i the dumps I find myself surfing the OnDemand to find more TV to arificially connect with.
- Andy said: Oh dear, I can't be doing very well
- yooper1019 said: Makes sense. Most of the people I see on house calls look pretty miserable too.
- Todd Albertson said: I wonder if watching more TV makes you more depressed (which I'm sure is true) or whether depressed people watch more TV.
- timlauer said: Good to know....
- Rob said: My wife and I probably watch less than five hours of TV a week and I'd say we are pretty happy in general. I am on the web a lot though - I wonder how happy those people are?
- kevinpshan said: I guess I'm very unhappy.
- Darnell Clayton said: Is this the answer to true happiness?
- Rolf Schewe said: I hardly watch TV anymore. All you see is voyeurism. Watching how other people live or suffer for that matter. Faux reality shows.
- NEEKers said: I don't think this is true. What's happy anyways? They might not really be happy.
