Feeling more together: Group attention intensifies emotion
Shteynberg, Hirsh, Apfelbaum, Larsen, Galinsky and Roese, Emotion 14(6), 2014, 1102-1114. Five studies on group attention, attending at the same time as group members. Scary ads felt scarier, sad images sadder, happy images happier; in studies 4 and 5 group attention increased the share of thoughts referring to sad or amusing videos. Effects not explained by physiological arousal, emotional contagion or vicarious experience.
