Green Earth, an environmental organization in Oklahoma, recently recruited Phyllis Galvan as a project coordinator. Galvan's manager has noticed that ever since she has joined, she has been extremely positive about her work and takes up challenges without complaining. In addition, she maintains a positive ambience by helping out colleagues and smiling at everyone she interacts with. Her behavior has had a positive effect on her colleagues, who have started behaving in a similar manner. Which of the following concepts is demonstrated in this example?A) emotional dissonance
B) Ben Franklin effect
C) unit bias
D) anchoring effect
E) emotional contagion

Emotional contagion is the phenomenon whereby a person's emotion is influenced by that of another person. It is the tendency to feel and behave in a way that is similar to that of another person, most especially after being influenced by the other person.

For instance, the question above shows us that people's behaviors will likely be influenced by that of others. Not just the positive, but also the negative emotions.

Care should therefore be taken to consciously surround one's self with positive people.
