Degree of life satisfaction among young people is associated with collectivism
An international group of scientists from Italy, the USA, China and Russia have studied the relationship between collectivism, individualism and life satisfaction among young people aged 18-25 in four countries.
They found that the higher the index of individualistic values at the country level, the higher the life satisfaction of young people s lives. At the individual level, however, collectivism was more significant for young people. In all countries, young people found a positive association between collectivism, particularly with regard to family ties, and life satisfaction.
This somewhat contradicts and at the same time clarifies the results of previous studies. Russia was represented in the research group by Sofya Nartova-Bochaver, Professor at HSE University s School of Psychology. The results of the study have been published in the journal

Older adults are more willing to make an effort to help others than younger adults, according to new research from the University of Birmingham.
The study, led by researchers in the University s School of Psychology, is the first to show how effortful prosocial behaviour - intended to benefit others - changes as people get older. In particular, it focused on people s willingness to exert physical effort, rather than to give money or time, since attitudes to both these are known to change with age. The research results are published in
Psychological Science.
In the study, the research team tested a group of 95 adults aged between 18 and 36, and a group of 92 adults aged 55-85. Each participant made 150 choices about whether or not to grip a handheld dynamometer - a device for measuring grip strength or force,- with 6 different levels of how hard they had to grip. Before the experiment, the researchers measured each person s maximum grip strength, so they could make su
