  1. Social connectivity with family decreases depressive symptoms in humans (β = -0.074, p < 0.001).

    “In rural areas, respondents who felt their children exhibited filial piety (β = -1.512, p < 0.001) and had more social connectivity with family (β = -0.074, p < 0.001) were more likely to report fewer depression symptoms.”
