Hi, I’m Bailey Mosier. This is your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose.
If given the chance to talk about yourself or receive money, which one do you think you’d choose? The answer to that may surprise you.
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers found that broadcasting personal opinions gives people the same sense of reward as earning money.
In one experiment, participants got to choose among reporting their own opinion, judging someone else's opinion or answering a true or false question. And for each choice, they could earn varying amounts of money.
The researchers found that sharing one’s own point of view stimulates activity in the reward-processing parts of the brain. So it’s no wonder our Facebook and Twitter feeds are full of people telling us what they had for breakfast or how they feel about, well, everything.
That wraps up your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose. Join me here at EmpowHER.com every weekday for your next dose of women’s health.
