Describe three examples of how social connection influences both our behavior and our emotions

What will be an ideal response?


Researchers have found that we tend to adopt the behaviors of others. For instance, if our friends gain weight, we tend to gain weight, but, as a positive example, if our friends quit smoking we are more likely to quit smoking. As a second example, we also tend to adopt the emotions of others, such as feeling more positive when we are around others who are positive. Third, social connection influences our health. For instance, older people who lack social connection have shorter life spans than those with more extensive social connections.
