This could even work for folks online. I would love to read that study. I'm currently working on building community within my neighborhood and this article is a good guide. Thank you.
In my life I have consistently struggled to find true support or friendship. My family have traumatized me and taken advantage of my responsibility and work ethic and compassion for them. I am now 47 and make many connections and can't get any consistent friendships, people are too busy for friendship or even conversation. Its terribly lonely. I also cannot find people with integrity that live their values, they are talk and no action. I have always felt like a outlier and a misfit because of this. I care about community and reducing suffering and I can't find others to even discuss solutions with let alone work together to change outcomes. I am at a loss , our culture is so self obsessed.
I just read about this study in Charles Duhigg's book Supercommunicators. I shared it with my team as they were gearing up for the launch of their leader development programs this week. We spend a lot of time during the beginning of our programs getting participants to interact with each other outside of class and to work on building professional networks.
Fun Fact - The original ask for the Harvard Study was to identify predictors of job performance in Retail Store Managers. They spent 20 years and $7M in today's dollars before shelving the project only to be picked back up in the 1970s. Had they hired an I-O Psychologist to be part of their team, he or she would have conducted a criterion-related validation study and taken no longer than 6 to 12 months for under $10K.
Today, we can do it much quicker and for much less - just the cost of conducting a good job analysis and plugging the results into a computer to spit out generalized validity coefficients.

As someone on the spectrum I find 5-0-1 working much better for me. With the last one being either my wife or one of my kids..

Great idea

Huh.
Nielsen still hires people with clickers to stand there and count out the number of public impressions that come from outdoor advertisement.
