Personal history and health

Scientists, philosophers, and storytellers often question why human beings appear to remain constant while existing in a state of change at the same tune.

Among those who explore and expose dramatic conflicts between human stability and flux, the number of behavioral scientists has remained relatively low - that is, until Leo Srole followed the progress of a large cohort of people in his Midtown Longitudinal Study.

This statistical project was designed to analyze mental health and assess human biological, social, and psychological change.

New York's Upper East Side was the study's focus, a sociologically insular community, consisting of loosely differentiated neighborhoods, with a population of generalizable significance that transcended individual characteristics.
