This week, we saw an article in NewScientist titled, “Psychology tips for maintaining social relationships during the lockdown.” For those of you who haven’t seen it, we thought it would be valuable to review that and other tips on staying sane during a shelter-in-place order.
In this episode, Kurt and Tim look at hints and tips to stay more socially connected while needing to be physically distant.
The article that got us excited about this topic was written by Robin Dunbar, PhD, a British anthropologist, evolutionary psychologist and an expert in social bonding. Dr. Dunbar created a concept called the “Dunbar Number,” which explores the number of people with whom we can maintain stable social relationships – relationships in which we know who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.
We hope you enjoy this week’s episode.
