Comportamiento contagioso

"Comportamiento contagioso" or contagious behavior refers to how certain actions, emotions, or attitudes spread quickly among people, similar to how a virus spreads. When someone smiles or shows enthusiasm, others often mirror that behavior, creating a ripple effect. This happens because humans are naturally influenced by social cues and the desire to fit in. Such contagious behaviors can influence group dynamics, boost motivation, or sometimes even spread negative feelings. Understanding this helps explain why social environments have powerful impacts on individual and collective actions.
