Frequently experienced mild positive emotions are what drive health and well-being. In Western culture, feelings and emotions are considered to be tied to the individual rather than shared with acquaintances. Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina (UNC), coined the phrase “positivity resonance” to identify the shared sensation of positive psychology between individuals. The success of communities relies on prosocial virtues such as altruism, spirituality, and intellectual humility. Simple, affirmative actions that are shared with others as part of a regular routine can generate a profound ripple effect for the individual throughout their day along with others who are part of these connections. Just as one can be consumed by a negative interaction, a shared laugh with a stranger, or even a brief smile, can adjust the direction of the day for both parties. The frequency of these small gestures can generate strong channels for mental health.
