Using
the bank account metaphor for social insurance, the bad news is that apparently
the brain does not wipe out negative balances at the end of the day, but
instead carries them over to your next interaction with a given individual.
This means that you can end the day not just being at zero but actually “in the
red” with someone, which can add interest, if you will, to your emotional debt
in their minds. Conversely, you can end the day with money in their bank.
Leaving social interactions with positive outcomes is like adding money to
their bank account, which tends to build trust, and may even resemble gaining
interest in the deposit you made to your bank account with them.
