New paper: Across 3 experiments, we found that people react more positively to a happy (vs angry) voice - no surprise here. But more interestingly, highly empathic people were especially drawn to happy voices. doi.org/10.1037/emo0...

An infographic titled 'Far More Unites Us Than Divides Us' showing the percentage similarity in common values between different groups. Six bell curves display high similarities: 84% between countries, 91% between religions, 96% between rich & poor, 96% between genders, 96% between age groups, and 97% between education levels. The data is from a 2019 Hanel study of 85,000 people. The curves are shown in green on a blue gradient background.
