People pay more attention to negative events than the positive ones
Research:
90% of all news headlines are focused on negative news stories. Some researchers believe this goes back to evolutionary roots, of needing to be aware of and prepared for their surroundings, especially negative events such as natural disasters (floods, volcanos, etc.) to survive. However, 95% of the negative headlines are sensationalized or blown out of proportion to attract viewers so it’s important to be careful of falling for inaccurate or biased information.
