Barbara Fredrickson: 积极共鸣在疫情期间至关重要,它能促进共享积极情绪、同步性和关爱,从而提升健康和福祉。应对疫情压力,我们应该接纳负面情绪,但更要积极培养正面情绪,例如感恩、希望和爱,并寻找与他人分享快乐的机会。保持韧性和乐观的关键在于接纳负面情绪,并积极寻找提升正面情绪的方法,因为正面情绪和韧性之间存在良性循环。人们在疫情期间容易加剧不良习惯来应对压力,这并非健康的应对方式,我们应该重视自我关怀,例如与人建立有意义的联系,从事带来平静的活动,例如亲近自然、培养爱好等。为了管理焦虑并提升积极情绪,建议限制新闻摄入量,并通过电话等方式与朋友保持联系,因为电话比视频会议更利于积极共鸣。戴口罩会影响积极共鸣,需要通过其他方式(例如眼神交流、肢体语言、言语表达)来弥补。社交隔离会削弱免疫系统,需要寻找其他方式来保持社交联系,因为与陌生人和熟人的积极互动有助于培养利他主义和公共卫生意识,这对于疫情防控至关重要。保持社交联系对于增强免疫系统和促进群体免疫至关重要。全球化既是疫情爆发的因素,也是人类合作的体现。对病毒的恐惧会影响人们的日常生活,需要找到安全的方式进行社交互动。人们需要学习新的社交规范,这将是一个长期的过程。乐观地看待未来,相信人们能够找到新的方式来表达善意和温暖。
