Think Positive and Feel Positive
When you're in a stressful situation, are you confident or unsafe? Do you react positively or negatively?
A study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame found that negative thinking, and depression coming from it, can be catching in certain circumstances.
For example, the researchers studied 103 freshman college roommates who'd been paired casually.Specifically, the researchers measured the subject's likelihood to see negative events as a reflection of their abilities and disadvantages.
After only six months, it became clear that thinking patterns and styles can be catching.And students paired with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive in their thinking and report less depression.
So they might be particularly accessible to adopting the thought and behavior patterns of people around them — perhaps more so than people in less intense situations at other stages of life.
But maybe not. Other research has shown that, in general, people are affected by how those around them think.
A. The answer may depend in part on whom you're around.
B. Now college freshman are in a unique, life changing environment.
C. However, think positive and feel positive is quite important for college students.
D. Students paired with a negative-thinking roommate “caught” that style and became more depressed themselves.
E. They measured each roommate's cognitive weakness, or tendency to give in to negative thinking and depression.
F. So surrounding a negative, depressed person with people who think positively could be a powerful form of treatment.
G. But what was to the researchers' embarrassment was that the subjects never talked with each and stayed apart from each other for most of the time.

A. People think differently from me. B. It taught me disagreements are unnecessary. C. It took a lot of listening, patience and effort. D. The comment was focused on my upbringing. E. He then asked what l would be studying here. F. I was excited and terrified but tried to act bravely. G. In a way, I'm thankful that I had to take those extra steps from the first day. |
I am a Korean-American growing up in Korea. My delayed first day at Wheaton College was my first time in the U.S. in more than 10 years.
From my first time eating at Chipotle to the endless variety of Scotch tapes on display at Target, culture shock affected me deeply. I was flooded with the rush of Starbucks caffeine (咖啡因). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
On that first day to-do list was a job interview for a worker position. The interviewer asked where l was from. Seoul. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} English literature. He said, "Oh, you must be enthusiastic about coming all the way here to study English from Korea'!"
That comment annoyed me, in a way I couldn't describe then. It's clearer now: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The interviewer was measuring my passion without knowing anything about me, only based on where l was coming from.
That interview was a small example of what came after that first day of college, but I hesitate to tell the story because some people who made ridiculously ignorant (无知的) comments ended up being my good friends. This wasn't easy. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Through them, I learned to express my feelings clearly in words. To them, I owe this story.
We get to know some people and others we don't. We make decisions to involve in conversations or not. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} otherwise, I would have stayed in my bubble, meeting only people who say things that sound right.
