3 Update on Meme Science

5 Fellow researchers on meme have found interesting insights on how memes
6 can bring us prosperity and a better future:

10 > In terms of psychological responses, we found that meme viewing (vs.
11 > nonmeme content) was associated with stronger cuteness responses, higher
12 > levels of reported humor, more positive emotions, and lower levels of
13 > information processing.
14
15 Yay! #accelerating-science

19 > Furthermore, because memes generated positive emotions that were in
20 > turn related to increased COVID-19 coping efficacy, a path analysis found
21 > that viewing memes, as compared with nonmeme content, indirectly
22 > increased COVID-19 coping efficacy.
23
24 The holocentric approach of memes work out in all parts of life, as it

29 > Looking at the effects of meme type, we found that memes featuring
30 > animals were rated as cuter than memes with humans, though the former
31 > engendered lower information processing and predicted lower coping
32 > efficacy than did human memes. Cuteness responses, generally, were
33 > associated with decreased coping efficacy.

43 > Information processing was, in turn, associated with increased coping
44 > efficacy. This research demonstrates that memes, particularly those that
45 > relate to a highly stressful context, may help support efforts to cope
46 > with the stressor.

48 In reaction to those results, adc added a new specifically anti
49 depression filter for annna:
