A new research study finds watching Oprah can make you a better person.
Why Watching Oprah makes you a better person
The warm and fuzzy feelings you may experience after watching others perform virtuous deeds may in turn lead you to act altruistically as well, according to a new study based on the results of two separate experiments.
Among the findings: People who watch inspirational clips from the Oprah Winfrey Show are more likely to commit to helping others, and spend more time doing a “good deed.”
However, since the study was based on a small number of participants who were all female, more research is needed to back up the findings.
I wonder if this same study watched clips of regular people volunteering, minus Oprah, if the results would be the same? Overall, good for Oprah if she can motivate people to become a better person.
