Professor of Communication Studies Nicholas Brody was quoted in an article in PsyPost about his research on the social-emotional benefits of reconnecting with friends or family. In a study that examined relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic, Brody and his co-authors found that people who rekindled dormant relationships reported lower levels of depression and loneliness—even when those conversations took place through social media, text messages, video calls, or email.
"Overall, these findings underscore the potential mental health benefits of communication technology usage, especially during stressful times," Brody said.
