In the current study, we explored the time course of processing other's pain under induced happy or sad moods. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded when participants observing pictures showing others in painful or non-painful situations. Mood induction procedures were applied to the participants before the picture observation task. Happy and sad moods were induced by listening to about 10 minutes of music excerpts selected from the Chinese Affective Music System (CAMS). The ERP results revealed that the induced mood can influence the early automatic components N1, P2, and N2 but not the later top-down controlled components P3 and LPP. The difference of amplitudes elicited by painful and non-painful stimuli was significantly different only in a sad mood but not in a happy mood, which indicates that comparing to a sad mood, the participants' ability to discriminate the painful stimuli from the non-painful stimuli was weakened in a happy mood. However, this reduction of sensitivity to other's pain in a happy mood does not necessarily reduce the tendency of prosocial behaviors. These findings offer psychophysiological evidences that people's moods can influence their empathic response towards other's pain.
After a few weeks of vacation and touring, I'm very glad to be back on the show this week, particularly because we're talking about Arrival, a movie so intriguing and layered I managed to write an entire essay about it, expanding on some of the ideas in this episode. On hand is our friend Chris Klimek in the fourth chair, which is just right given his deep body of knowledge about perplexing space movies. (And other things.) We talk about the visuals, the film's commitment to language, the score, and lots more.
Our next segment is all about what we're calling pop-culture serotonin: the things you can turn to if all you're looking for is a mood boost. How often to employ the mood-boosting properties of this stuff is a question only you can answer, but as I explained in introducing this conversation, I think you should have all the tools in your bag so you can pull out whichever one you think fits the moment. You'll find music, films, comedy albums, and more. Use them in good health. (Here are the links to the first and second crowdsourced playlists I mentioned, by the way.)
Take care out there. Find us on Facebook and talk to us about Arrival or what you use to boost your mood. Follow us on Twitter: me (for Hallmark movie updates), Stephen (for snacking updates), Glen (for jokes that are often over my head), and Chris (for stories about boxing and running that will make you feel lazy). Follow our producer Jessica (for hints about how she's putting the show together), and follow our producer emeritus and music director Mike (for Kansas City sports and other hope-lifted enterprises). We've got good stuff on tap for next week too, so we'll see you then.
Nothing is worse than starting your day in a bad mood, right? I mean it really all snowballs from there. Things get worse, you feel blah and you send out a bad vibe to those around you. So today I want to share how to start your day in a happy mood.
The first thing I do after waking up is I pray. I thank God for waking me up, for the blessings He will bestow on me, and for keeping me and my family safe during the night. Saying a prayer of thanks gives me positive energy to get up and fulfill the tasks of the day.
The enjoyment you get from eating something delicious can trigger the release of dopamine along with endorphins. Sharing the meal with someone you love, and bonding over meal preparation, can boost oxytocin levels.
You may also experience an endorphin release while performing music, especially in a large group. For example, a 2016 study found that choir members experienced increased endorphin release during rehearsals.
Just spending time with someone you care about can also help boost oxytocin production. This can help increase closeness and positive relationship feelings, making you feel happy, blissful, or even euphoric.
Serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin help promote happiness and pleasure while reducing depression and anxiety. You can give these feel-good hormones a natural boost with some simple activities.

Force Factor's Happy Mood soft chews feature the stress reducing, mood enhancing properties of Zembrin a novel, patented, clinically studied extract of the South African succulent plant Sceletium tortuosum.

According to Sean Hannan, VP of Science and Innovation for Force Factor, people are increasingly reaching for mood support supplements as a way to manage the stress of the modern world. "We were excited to partner with PLT Health Solutions and use their patented Zembrin ingredient because the clinical science behind it supports not only its ability to promote a positive mood and relieve stress, but it does so quickly; you can feel the results shortly after taking the product," Sean said. "Happy Mood contains 25 mg of Zembrin as well as magnesium, Vitamin D, and B vitamins. It also contains 10 mg of saffron (Crocus sativa), a species of flowering plant that has also been shown to improve mood.* The product has a tropical fruit flavor, and is provided as individually wrapped chews, a format that has been really popular with consumers who love the great-tasting and convenient alternative to traditional pills."
Zembrin is a novel, patented, clinically studied extract of the South African succulent plant Sceletium tortuosum. Sceletium has been used as a mood enhancer and stress reliever by the Khoi-San of South Africa, with a culture that stretches back thousands of years. Zembrin has an extensive and forward-thinking clinical science program including five gold standard clinical trials published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Studies have shown that a 25 mg per day dose of Zembrin can reduce anxiety-related activity within two hours of administration.*
Zembrin innovator, HG&H Pharmaceuticals employs a seed-to-shelf ingredient management program with its specially cultivated Sceletium tortuosum raw materials. The company is committed to using only cultivated plant material to avoid depleting threatened wild plant stocks and to ensure consistent product quality.
