Research Shows That In-Person Socializing Is Down

The Horizons Tracker

Critics of social media often accuse it of swallowing out our relationships with others as we turn to breadth rather than depth of interactions. Research from the University of Kansas suggests such an accusation is unfounded, and finds that while our socializing in-person is typically declining, social media is not to blame. “The social displacement hypothesis is probably the most well-known, long-lasting explanation for where time spent using new technologies—from the internet to texting,

People Reject Inequality Policies Even If They Support Reducing Inequality

The Horizons Tracker

Equality is something generally regarded as a positive thing. Indeed, Pew research shows that most of us do broadly want a more equal society. Yet when it comes to introducing policies to achieve that, however, people become much less keen, especially among the majority white groups.
