Discussion Question -Happiness Vs. Unhappiness

After reading two articles (to which there are links below and a printable version of one attached), share your responses in the Discussion Board, especially if you've already covered the chapter material as context for your understanding. 

Specifically: 

Do you believe that happiness is more contagious than unhappiness? 

If that is the case, why are other "negative" elements, such as obesity, similarly contagious? 

According to the article (or your own inferences) why is happiness less contagious at work? 

How do you feel social networking has impacted this trend, whether it be for better or worse? 

Finally, regardless of what the article states, do you believe this to be true? Have you experienced or observed it in your own lives ?
