    I am grateful for the native Americans, who set the basis of the US Constitution, who keep America, and whoever else they can healthy now, in this time of recovery, not only physically but spiritually. I am grateful to see natives still, living with nature and passing wisdom or at least a strong cleansing aura of the Great Spirit wherever possible, wherever there are sincerely respectful minds and open ears.
    The native American way is the backbone of successful life in the modern age, we do well to approach humbly and preserve our intention of no desecration of their traditions and lands.

    I'm curious about Gold. It's the one color that captivates the senses, and can't be replicated without the use of itself, or some sort of optical or technical illusion. Is there a reason why everyone loves it so much, other than value? It's the color of top prize trophies and even the object of desire for mythical creatures we came up with like griffons and dragons. What effects does gold have on the brain?

    • @braincraft
      @braincraft  8 років тому +21

      +Tech A.M Good question! The participants in that study filled out base line questionnaires and then did follow up assessments. From these they get a score (on the Steen Happiness Index). So the percentages are the difference in their scores over that period. Anyway (maybe you had already figured this out), there are some issues with self-reporting but I think it's the most efficient way to measure it in an experimental setting.

    I have a question. I have a job that requires me to answer phone calls from people with different backgrounds who have various ethnic, regional and foreign accents. One of my co-workers noted that the longer I talk to any individual, I would (unknowingly) begin to speak in a way that would mimic their accent and cadence of speech. At first I was horrified I was doing this but I came up with an idea to see if I was the only one with this habit. Some of us got together and monitored each other while on the phone. We noted that unless the conversation provoked a strong emotional response (anger/frustration, sadness/empathy, happiness/laughter) many of us would begin to mimic the caller. None of us realized we were doing this. The question is why are we unknowingly trying to mimic others while talking to them? Are our brains wired to try and fit in, achieve acceptance or make our conversation partner more comfortable? I ask as this seems to go against the accent bias mentioned in one of your videos from last year.

    Although I agree that "gratitude is part of the glue that keeps these [referring to that of couples] relationships together" as it is "morally true", I feel that this is a logic jump from the statement that people with parts of their DNA that is related to producing more oxytocin causing them to "show more gratitude toward their partners" (from a small study size) and the fact that oxytocin is recognized as holding relationships together in a sense. I think this was a cause-correlation jump.

    Do mental Illness such as PTSD make people less grateful, I once worked with someone with PTSD, and as much as I tried to help, she would not accept my help and was mad at me when I did a small deed for her. (Ex, pick up something that may have fell, buy her a snack, take trash out, install equipment) Her reasoning was it its "not my job" to do those things, but I felt bad, I was just trying to help, and she got mad at me/upset with herself.

      +Kajo Le Retour Yeah, happiness is very hard to quantify, which is why economists use numbers such as GDP, rather than SNS (subjective happiness scale). Anyhow, usually people are asked to rate their happiness in a scale (1 to 10 or whatever), so this percentages might refer to relative changes in the average scores.

      the people rated how it made them feel. they personally corresponded the intensity of the feeling to a number. and the numbers were used in the percentages. but at the moment, we don't really have a way to quantify the intensity of feelings.
