These findings made me think of the importance of prosocial behaviour in peer led interventions for mental health. They often find better outcomes for those who are delivering the interventions, than those receiving them.

Our new study provides evidence for this hypothesis. That is, we are more accurate and faster at recalling social (e.g., friendship networks) vs. non-social network information (e.g., transport networks). We also observed a self-relevant positivity bias, but an ‘other’ negativity bias.
