What You Need to Know About Conscious Negativity Bias

 

Conscious negativity bias can be understood as the tendency to see the “cup half empty” rather than the “cup half full.”It can rise in times of uncertainty and discouragement. It’s a disproportionate focus on problems rather than opportunity. It’s also highly contagious — one very negative person can disrupt an entire group or team.

Our “fight or flight” response gets activated by negative emotions, which can trigger a physical, defensive response, rather than a controlled one. Our ability to reason is thus impaired by negative emotions, and we are impelled by these emotions to address and magnify perceived threats.

Conversely, when positive emotions arise, they trigger a “reward-seeking” function that inspires mind expansion, flexible decision-making, connecting with others, and compassion.
