De ce știrile proaste ne rămân în minte mai mult decât cele bune. Explicația psihologilor

People are naturally drawn to negative news due to a psychological phenomenon known as "negativity bias," which influences how we consume information. This bias stems from evolutionary advantages in identifying threats, leading to a stronger memory for negative events. Studies show that even those who claim to prefer positive news often spend more time on negative stories. Additionally, negative news tends to provoke stronger physiological reactions. The prevalence of negative news in media is also driven by journalistic norms and the practical utility of such information for public safety. However, there remains an audience for positive news, indicating a diverse preference among readers.
