    Emotional contagion

    “ Teenagers can “catch” moods from their friends and negative moods appear to be more contagious than positive, a study has found.

    The study by Oxford and Birmingham universities investigates “emotional contagion” among teenagers, to see the impact of individuals’ moods within a shared social network.

    It found that moods become similar to those of the people they spend time with, but there is a tolerance of different moods, and grumpy teenagers are no less popular with their peers than those with a more sunny disposition.”

    Teenagers are all too willing to rebel against their parents and older generations, but most are pitifully anxious to conform with each other.

      They needed a research to come to this conclusion? I thought this type of stuff was as plain as the nose on your face. Not just teenagers either. It seems so basic I don't know where to start with examples but we all know being in miserable offices make you miserable and being around toxic people bring you down as well.

      I thought this was kind of common sense and not really worth of news or research??

              Probably one of those cases where you should read the study, not the newspaper report simplifying it Labour voters.
