Abstract in brief

  • Savoring is a technique that helps increase and maintain positive emotions, and this study tested it in a lab setting to see how it affects feelings and brain responses over time.
  • Participants who practiced savoring reported higher enjoyment and arousal from positive and neutral images, and their brain activity (LPP) also showed stronger responses, especially for previously savored images.
  • The positive effects of savoring persisted after 20 minutes, with previously savored images continuing to evoke stronger positive feelings and brain activity, highlighting savoring as an effective way to boost and sustain positive emotions.]
