Brown, Lin, Hammersmith, and Wright.

  • Episode 8: You & Me & We: The Power of Positivity in Relationships, And Its Limits
    In this episode we talk about the importance of expressing emotion in relationships, unlike a very specific couple on Temptation Island. Then, we do an Academic Deep Dive into the concept of “capitalization,” and the power of sharing good news with your friends and family, in a new study published by Dr. Ariela Pagani and colleagues in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Finally, we talk about two pieces of relationship advice: whether to turn lemons into lemonade (spoiler alert: prepare for a rant!), and a parenting suggestion by Tom Hanks, shared by the New York Times.
