Puppies and Interpersonal Relations
 |
There was even a study done at Florida State University which tested the association of positive thoughts to good feelings and subsequently good effects on relationships
Streams of pics including puppies and the loved one's face were viewed every three days for six weeks.
It seems that like Pavlov's dog, we can be conditioned for positivity in automatic reactions just by regular explosure to this 'cuteness' association.
It may not be a panacea for troubled relationships but the researchers feel that there was a clear indication that positive reinforcement could impact some serious issue between a couple.
Well, this is all fine and dandy but like my lovey dovey brother learned all too abruptly one day; sometimes it's too hot to get cuddly.
