Does connection matter on its own? Social connection and healthy life expectancy across countries. Registered pre-analysis plan (Study 1, Human Flourishing Observatory)
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Pre-analysis plan registered before crossing the data. It tests, across countries and net of income, whether social support, loneliness and associational membership are associated with healthy life expectancy (WHO), and whether living alone is, by itself, neutral. Sources: WHO, World Happiness Report, Gallup and Meta, World Values Survey, United Nations and World Bank. Hypotheses, decision rules, permitted subgroup analyses and limitations are fixed in advance.
