This technique involves the subtle exposure to security-related cues, which impacts individuals' emotions and prosocial behavior even outside artificial settings. Through three studies, the researchers discovered that a single instance of exposure significantly boosts positive emotions and willingness to help others, reiterating the profound effects of secure attachment on everyday interactions and well-being.
