When you hear positive news, it can certainly lighten your mood.

According to research published by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, when people are experiencing acts of extraordinary moral goodness they can experience ‘moral elevation’, a psychological condition that contributes to the development of positive thoughts and emotions such as admiration, affection, and love. It can even cause physical reactions that cause a lasting influence on people’s future actions.

From chemistry point of view, all this may involve the release of oxytocin, best known as the cuddle drug, a natural hormone, for which increased levels in the blood have been associated with feelings of contentment, confidence, wellbeing, empathy, satisfaction and love, as well as with combating anxiety.

To conclude, good news brings positive feelings and a physical state of well being, so we definitely want more of that, don’t you?
