Positivity Resonates: Barbara Fredrickson

Special lecture by psychologist Barbara Fredrickson Are the moments of positive interpersonal connection we experience positive health behaviors? Positivity resonance is a momentary affective state co-experienced by two or more people simultaneously, marked by the amplifying trio of: shared positive affect; mutual care and concern; and cross-person synchrony in behavioral and biological dynamics. Dr. Fredrickson will share her most recent empirical evidence that positivity resonance-whether indexed by self-report, behavior, or biology-predicts mental and physical health, measured concurrently or prospectively.
