–rant start–

I hate it I hate it such a shitty implication. This headline implies that walking fast makes you sad, but I’m willing to bet a lot that the study didn’t actually find such a causal connection.

My guess is that the causal link is stress here. Stressed people walk faster and are also sad.

So make the headline say “scientists say stressed people walk fast” or something because someone will try walking slowly in hopes of that bringing happiness

I agree with your rant, this kind of title is annoying.

I do however also think that doing slow mindful walks will help against stress, so the implication that slow walking brings happiness is not a bad implication. Stressed out fast walking people really should try it. There’s no reason to be in a hurry all of the time.

  Tell that to the Amazon warehouse workers.

    Amazon benefits from workers who don’t get stressed out too

But the headline doesn’t imply a causal connection, it’s your own bias that does

I read it and immediately assumed it’s because stressed people walk faster

  The tagline is still making a massive leap of logic to a clickbaity conclusion.

    No it’s not. If I were to find you on a graph, the faster you walk, the unhappier I’d find you to be—that’s what it’s saying.
    
    Now, the content of the article? I have no idea. I’m not reading it.

I didn’t even think about taking the title seriously but now that you say it, it does sound ridiculous. I wonder if it’s bait for people to come in explain causation (serious) to drum up engagement, or if it’s actually just dumb.

So much anger from the fast walkers.

  Women with round asses like seen here are more likely to walk quicker
