One in three young people say they felt happier during lockdown
So 1 in 3 felt happier, 1 in 3 felt more depressed, and the remaining 1 in 3 felt no major change.<p>Sounds pretty much like a normal (gaussian) distribution, or basically a non-story. Guessing if they measured satisfaction on a scale, the majority  were clustered near the "no major change" camp, as with any gaussian curve. As we already know, it turns out humans can adapt to things.<p>By phrasing the headline result as "1 in 3 felt happier," it creates a narrative where there likely isn't one. You imagine the 33% were this solid block of people feeling much happier. But, re: the gaussian distribution, its likely very few were at the extremes, and most were clustered towards the middle.<p>Textbook clickbait. It invites you to react with your emotional, anecdotal feelings about what this means to you, as if there was any interesting finding there.
