Could you give an example?
Say articles on scientific research progress, effective disease prevention/mitigation, successful restoration projects of environments on the brink or of historical buildings/artifacts, etc.
Subjects like this related to efforts to help, maintain, and/or improve matters.
There’s tons of research on positive issues. Can you be more specific what you’re looking for?
Some talk as if more attention & engagement regarding negative subjects/issues is normal or how people's brains work, so I'm curious about studies into the other angle on this.
That is, to what degree people may be drawn to and discuss more positive subjects.
Unfortunately, a review of the literature is likely to find evidence for the opposite. We are terible at assessing risk so we over-value small near threats and undervalue larger distant ones. See also, e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_economy
