Examples Sought
A few real-world examples of ‘Positivity effect’ might be helpful to the reader.

I would encourage a subject expert to please add a few examples. -- ViaBest 17:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

non-existent source
I removed this source from the article:

''LeClerc, C., & Kensinger, E. (2008). Age-related differences in emotional information processing: Neural mechanisms of the positivity effect. The Gerontologist, 48(00169013), 621-621. Retrieved from http://ezproxy.qa.proquest.com/docview/210948922?accountid=14771. November 7, 2011''

because it doesn't seem to exist. When searching |geronb|geront|geronj&fmonth=&fyear=&tmonth=&tyear=&flag=&format=standard&hits=10&sortspec=relevance&submit=yes the journal 'The Gerontologist', year 2008, author name Kensinger the only result is quite a different article. Searching both authors (without year) gives no results at all, and neither does a search of the title.

The two sentences that were sourced with this non-existent source were rather obscure, especially the first one : ''Both older and younger adults process emotional data over neural data. However,age-related valence reversal in processing emotional data is often observed.'' I removed it. Lova Falk    talk   08:18, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Clarification: on Opening Paragraph.
The opening wording is unclear in definition.

Also the use of the term opposite in the description does not satisfy the logical use of said term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Actroeven (talk • contribs) 04:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Actroeven, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please, be bold and rephrase the opening paragraph!  Lova Falk     talk   15:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
