They range from 1:3(Wysocki and Kempner (U of Florida) up to 1:10 Nick Stinnet (U of Nebraska). That is, for every one negative comment people receive they need ten positive ones to feel like they are successful. I think Positivity picks up on that work and points the value at the source but i has just as much impact on everyone around you so the result is a much more productive team. This is especially true with on-line teams where e-mail threads can be disjointed and only the negative comments seem to stand out.
