New discovery: humans can send a sense of happiness with their sense of smell

Many people believe that happiness is something that can spread . A recent study by Dutch scientists found a solution to the spread because they discovered that we could feel the happiness of others with our sense of smell.

Accordingly, experts from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands have discovered that the odor produced on our bodies can "communicate" with others through a mechanism called chemosignals .

Chemosignals acts as a method through which people can emotionally "sync" . The researchers conducted an experiment with women and men of all ages.

Accordingly, the study participants will place a gauze under the armpit required to show fear and happiness when watching different videos. The part of this sweat collected under the armpit will be synthesized and shredded, placed in a bottle.

Next, the group of volunteers will be divided into small groups and randomly smell sweat samples. Along with that, participants will say their feelings.

While smelling, the part of the participant's facial muscles will be connected to an episode to measure the subtle differences and expressions of emotions they experienced when smelling the smell of sweat .

As a result, when exposed to the sweat of the happy sender, the smelling facial expression also shows happiness . This also happens when the player smells of "fear" sweat.

Scientists said: "Our findings show that people not only smell the fear but also the smell of happiness. Feeling the happiness of those around them will somewhat helps reduce the negative effects on the heart, endocrine, and increase the immune system ".

This study is very important for the scientific community, because it denies the popular view that people communicate with each other through language and vision.

The study is published in the journal Psychological Science.
