Is happiness more contagious than sadness?

[fringekitty]

I thought at least a few people in this community might be glad *ahem* to read this article regarding the effect of happiness on others. I have no real comment on the way the study was conducted, as I've yet to read the actual study. However, I thought the article might be appropriate for discussion. Plus, unlike many other articles in the mainstream press regarding studies, this one actually discussed possible flaws.
