每天拍張照並分享 有助於提升幸福感!

A new study published in the journal Health found that taking a photo (any photo) every day and sharing it online improves your well-being.

發表在《健康》雜誌上的一項新研究發現，每天拍照（任何照片）並在網上分享出來能提高幸福感。

Researchers found that snapping and sharing wasn't simply an exercise in narcissism, but an act of self-care.

研究人員發現，拍照和分享不僅僅是一種自戀的行爲，而是一種自我照顧的行爲。

Taking the photo encouraged mindfulness, while the sharing promoted social interaction.

拍照鼓勵正念，而分享促進了社會互動。

"I'll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very salutary I think," one participant tells scientists at the UK's Lancaster University and University of Sheffield.

一名參與者告知英國蘭開斯特大學和謝菲爾德大學的科學家：“我會停下來拍一張昆蟲待在我電腦上的照片。我認爲，僅僅花一點時間是非常有益的。”

Looking at photos gives the subjects a sense of purpose, and planning to take them was a motivational force, the researchers say.

研究人員稱，看照片會讓實驗對象有一種使命感，而且計劃拍照是一種激勵力量。

"It encourages me out of the house sometimes," another participant says.

另一位參與者稱：“有時候拍照能鼓勵我走出家門。”

On the social side, comments kept people connected with their friends and family, and even helped some combat loneliness.

在社交方面，評論照片讓人們與朋友和家人保持聯繫，甚至幫助一些人克服孤獨。

Researchers concluded in a press release that posting photos online is "an active process of meaning making."

研究人員在一份新聞稿中總結稱，在網上發佈照片是“一個製造意義的積極過程”。
