6. Does Your Partner's Happiness (or Unhappiness) Rub Off on You? - with Professor Olga Stavrova

THE HAPPY SCIENCE PODCAST - A podcast by Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness at the Stockholm School of Economics - Mondays

In this fun episode, we explore how happiness - or unhappiness - spreads between couples. Does the happier partner rub off more, or is the other way around? Professor Olga Stavrova of University of Lübeck shares insights from her research on emotional contagion, revealing how partners affect each other's happiness and well-being in unexpected ways. Tune in to discover who holds the most influence in this happiness crossover and how these dynamics can even extend beyond couples to larger groups, like work teams! https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/19485506231207673
