研究发现大黄蜂间能看见并“传染”好心情

Core Insights - The research confirms that bumblebees possess the ability to transmit positive emotions without physical contact or chemical signals, simply through visual observation [1][2] Group 1: Research Findings - Bumblebees trained to associate specific colored flowers with rewards demonstrated a tendency to explore uncertain flowers after interacting with "happy" bumblebees that had just received a sugar water reward [2] - This indicates that positive judgment tendencies can be transmitted among individual bumblebees, akin to how good moods can be shared among social animals [2] Group 2: Implications - The study suggests that emotional contagion may be a shared mechanism between social vertebrates and insects, indicating its evolutionary significance [2] - The findings highlight the complex social emotional processing capabilities of bumblebees, which possess approximately one million neurons, suggesting that the roots of emotional and social cognition may have emerged early in the evolution of life [2]
