 Today,
people are living very busy lives and don’t really spend much time at home.
But still, home is a very important
place for you. According to a recent study, home turned out to
be where the heart is. British researchers proved for the first time that people
feel the happiest when at home!
Scientists at Cambridge University found in their new study that home
is the happiest place for humans. They analyzed people’s emotions and behavior while on the phone
to better understand human psychology. “Mobile phones are powerful tools to allow studies of people’s
behavior,” said Dr. Cecilia Mascolo, who led the study.
 In their
study, the researchers recorded a group of 18 volunteers’ mobile phone
use and their emotions over 10 days. They used special software to
track the users’ emotional
behavior. By assessing how the volunteers
were influenced by their surroundings, the time of
day, and their relationships with others,
the researchers have reached a conclusion.
They concluded that a person’s location had an apparent
effect on his or her state of mind. Almost half of the respondents were found to
be the happiest when they were at home or near their houses. On the other hand, 54 percent
experienced sad emotions at work.
“Even though you get to do the tiresome chores such as cleaning,
cooking, and washing the dishes, home turned out to be the place you
feel the happiest. We found this simply by monitoring people’s mobile
phone use,” said Dr. Mascolo. “When you are stressed or sad, go home
and take a rest. Then you will
feel better soon,” she advised. |
