The Effects Of Emotional Contagion

Emotional contagion is linked to many psychological studies on social behaviour.

1. Anger at the workplace has been linked to more workplace accidents and cognitive errors.
2. Taking breaks from social media leads to a positive effect, as there is less social comparison and less of negative exposure.
3. The 1967 ‘Summer Of Love’ in the United States was a series of large gatherings of young people spreading peace, love and generosity, leading to positive emotional contagion.
