The Family

Celastrus paniculata (c. multiflora and c. mutans) is a large climbing shrub found in the hilly districts of India, Burma and Ceylon. The seeds, leaves and an oil extracted by distillation are used in Ayurvedic medicine and are believed to increase intelligence. The Sanskrit name Jyotishmati or “light-bringer” is an allusion to this reputed property. Other members of the family Celastraceae, notably Gymnosporia deflexa Sprague and Catha edulis Forsk, are favoured by the natives of Africa as mental stimulants (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijck, 1932).

Do So

A Pilot experiment by Weber (1950) established the fact that the minor skeletal variations universally present in strains of tame mice are also encountered in wild populations; and that the incidence of individual variants may differ widely from population to population. In the decade since Weber's work many new variants have come to light, and it seemed desirable to repeat his observations on the more extensive range of variants now available. An opportunity to do so presented itself in 1956 when wild mice from various localities in the eastern U.S.A. became available for study. These animals had been collected for a totally different purpose. As is well known through the work of Dunn and his collaborators, there exists in the mouse a semi-dominant gene (T) for Brachyury or short-tail which in T/+ heterozygotes shortens the tail to a varying extent.

Pilot Experiment

Facebook and other social networking sites allow observation of others’ interactions that in normal, offline life would simply be undetectable (e.g., a two-voice conversation viewable on the Facebook wall, from the perspective of a real, silent witness). Drawing on this specific property, the theory of social learning, and the most direct implications of emotional contagion, our pilot experiment (N = 49) aimed to test whether the exposure to others’ grateful interactions on Facebook enhances (a) users’ felt gratitude, (b) expressed gratitude, and (c) their subjective well-being. For the threefold purpose, we created ad hoc Facebook groups in which the exposure to some accomplices’ exchange of grateful messages for 2 weeks was experimentally manipulated and users’ felt/expressed gratitude and well-being were consequently assessed. Results partially supported both hypotheses. Observing others’ exchange of grateful posts/comments on Facebook appeared to enhance participants’ in-person expression of gratitude (i.e., self-reported gratitude expression within face-to-face interactions), but not their direct and subjective experiences of gratitude. Similarly, exposure to others’ grateful messages improved some components of subjective well-being, such as satisfaction with life, but not negative and positive affect. Taken together, however, our preliminary findings suggest for the first time that social networking sites may actually amplify the spreading of gratitude and its benefits. Implications of our results for professionals and future research in the field of health, education, and social media communication are discussed.
