(WA) Did you know you can catch a mood? A bad mood isn't spread by a virus like the flu is, but it can be contagious1. Moods sort of drift from person to person unconsciously --- slight, unintentional signals carry the mood.
You've probably experienced it yourself. You're around someone who's feeling down and showing it... slumped2 shoulders, downcast mouth, subdued3 voice --- all that sort of thing. Pretty soon you begin to feel depressed4 too --- of course, good moods are also catching5, not just bad ones.
Moods spread in steps. One person's facial expression or whatever is observed by another, who then unconsciously begins to mimic6. The process is automatic --- a split second mimicry7. The person isn't even aware of the copying. A full-blown case of mood transfer develops as this copying continues.
Not everyone picks up moods to the same degree. Those who're most susceptible8 often have strong physiological9 responses to what's going on around them. You know, people who break out in a nervous sweat easily and whose stomachs churn.
People don't all send moods equally well either. The best mood senders are expressive10 people because mood contagion11 can't happen without signals. If they aren't there --- that is, the person gives no indication of the mood they're in --- nobody will pick up the mood.
