During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people under lockdown feel lonely and bored.
“There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US.
So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness
andincreasepositivefeelingsduringthepandemic.
According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing
enjoyable activities that require both concentration (注意力) and skill. When people are
absorbed in what they are doing, they enter a state called “flow”, Dattilo explained. “Flow
can be achieved by doing activities that we value and that requires us to concentrate fully to
useourskills.”

{#{QQABKQQEggAAAAAAAAgCQwkQCAIQkAACAKoGhBAEMAAAwANABAA=}#}your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex (复杂的) computer
program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving
“flow”. On the contrary(相反地), if the task is too easy,then boredom will setin and“flow”
will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting
can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you
are.
“When we center a state of flow, we become focused, and we experience momentary
enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how
muchtimehas passed.”However,watchingtelevision usuallydoesn’thelppeopleenterflow,

Monkeysseemtohaveawaywithnumbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different
symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a
reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to
getthereward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team,
described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On
one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a
circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the
other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would
be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be
rewardedwiththesumofthenumbers—17inthisexample.
Afterrunninghundredsoftests,theresearchersnotedthatthemonkeys wouldgoforthe
higher values more than half thetime, indicating thatthey were performing a calculation,not
justmemorizingthevalueofeachcombination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that
the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the
two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.
The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid
attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller
numbertoit.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr.
Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the

Researchers of the University of Missouri analyzed survey data of 2,300teachers from
MissouriandOklahomawhowereaskedtoratehowstressedtheywereatwork,iftheyfound
ways to deal with work stress and how satisfied they were with their jobs. The study found
teachers who struggle to deal with the stress of their job report far lower job satisfaction
compared to teachers who find ways to manage the pressure. While the findings were not
particularly surprising, the study highlights how the ability — or inability — to deal with
workstress canbeasignificantfactorcontributingto teacherburnout, whichultimatelyleads

This research confirms that it is necessary to start devoting more time and resources to
helpingteachersidentifyandadopthealthycopingmechanisms (应对机制).Finding ways to
relieve teacher stress and investing in ways to help them deal with stress in positive manners
willpaybackinnothavingto constantly hireandtrain newteachersallthetime. Inaddition,
keepingexperiencedteacherswilllikelybenefitstudentachievementaswell.
The researchers explained that positive, healthy coping mechanisms can be quick, easy
and free. One healthy coping mechanism they suggest for stressed teachers is writing and
delivering a short letter of gratitude to a colleague they enjoy working with. Simple things
like increasing positive interactions with students and peers, improving classroom
managementskills,andavoidinggossip(闲话)atworkcanalsohelp.
School principals, district superintendents and school administrators can all play a role
in supporting stressed teachers who may be struggling to cope. They should communicate
with teachers about their concerns, show empathy (共鸣) and check in on their health and
well-being to show the care. The overall goal is to create school environments that allow
