Capitalizing on Positive Events

People will engage with someone close to them about a positive thing that happened to that someone, specifically responding positively and enthusiastically to what is said.

Reasoning

The people close to us need our support when things go right, not just when they go wrong. Providing encouragement for another person’s positive event can not only increase the satisfaction they derive from that event, but it can also make them feel loved and cared about. Talking about a positive event together creates a shared positive experience that can enhance overall relationship satisfaction.
