Study: Depression Not Contagious, but Happiness Spreads Among Friends
情緒真的可以傳染嗎？
Researchers found that while depression does not spread among friends,
研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)抑郁情緒不會在朋友之間傳播，
happiness is contagious in circles of friends and may be the key to treating and preventing depression.
但積極健康的情緒卻恰恰相反，而且這種正能量的“傳染”是治療和預防抑郁癥的關鍵。
Using a mathematical model to study teenagers' influence on each other, researchers have found they can affect each other positively.
通過觀察記錄青少年日常交友情況后，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)：情緒確實能夠相互傳染。
Frances Griffiths, a professor at the University of Warwick, said in a press release,
華威大學的弗朗西絲·格里菲斯教授在一次新聞發(fā)布會上稱，
"we've found that a healthy mood amongst friends is linked with a significantly reduced risk of developing, and increased chance of recovering from, depression."
“擁有足夠多積極樂觀的朋友則更易從抑郁中恢復過來或者降低患抑郁癥的風險。”
Researchers gathered data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health on the moods of 2,194 teenagers in 7th through 12th grade during the 1994-1995 school year.
研究人員從“美國青少年健康研究”中挑取了2194多名青少年和成年人（1994~1995年時正在念7年級和12年級）的成長記錄，并對他們的相關數(shù)據(jù)加以分析。
