The experiment was done within University of California. Robert Levenson is the one to lead this, with 222 participants in the laboratory to watch neutral, sad or disgusting movie clips. Groups were arrange from their age range. After the experiment, the participants were being asked for several emotional responses through out the movie. People in their sixties response in a more sadness description than people in their twenties. The disgusting movie clips were responded similarly through out the age range. This experiment concluded that sadness have change through out the aging processing. If to argue they might be because of the fact that people experience more lost the one another. The experiment were separate and controlled by the people who have the same amount of loss. This experiment also show how positive emotion are being portray to the older people, which mean that a person can be really happy, but can show really sad emotional responses.
This psychological study have shown how sadness isn’t like any other feelings. Humans are special because they come with emotional responses that help motivate a certain aspects in daily life. Sadness is one of that motivation force that keep people in their bonding stage and strengthen the social bonds. This research were the purpose of showing how certain things can be change within the community to make changes out of people.
This information is particularly interesting, because there are a lot of factors in this world that bring people together like war, lost of death ones and an epidemic, etc. Claiming to bring peace to daily life show the existence of science. Emotion is the first sparks of the idea to bring peace into society, how a person feel about certain things. If everyone is happy then peace is achieve, but that happiness have to come in a certain form of emotion in this case is sadness.
