Sometimes we feel very busy and stressed not only because of our own work but also because of the feelings and problems of people we are close to.

The psychologist Stephanie Preston from the University of Michigan led his team to design a study. They wanted to check if stress was passed on. In the study, people were asked to give a speech to a group of watchers. Those watchers didn’t show any feelings during the speech. That made the speakers even more stressed than if they got bad comments (评价). After a while, even the researchers started feeling stressed from just watching the speeches. This made them curious, so they decided to study more. They looked at spit samples (唾液样本) to see the stress hormone—cortisol (皮质醇激素). While speakers were stressed and had a lot of cortisol, watchers were stressed too and had a lot of cortisol as well. They named this effect (效果) “physiological resonance”. It means the speakers’ stress was passed on to the watchers.

Though they prove that stress can move from one person to another, there is still one question. Studies have looked into the speakers’ voices and faces, but they haven’t figured out how someone’s behavior causes another’s stress.

When we talk or hang out with other people, we notice different signs showing their feelings. Those help us know if there’s something wrong around us. If our neighbor seems stressed, we should watch out as it might affect (影响) us too. This ability to sense stress comes from our long history of living in groups. It is not just humans who do this; animals can also tell when others around them are stressed. For example, if a deer senses stress in its pack, it may run away to avoid (避免) danger. So quickly spotting (发现) stress in others can help us. It keeps us away from problems before they get worse.
