Reread paragraph 13 of “Why do Some Brains Enjoy Fear?” There’s a common belief that if you meet somebody for the first time in a fearful situation, you’ll feel more attached or more attracted to that person than you would if you’d met them in a low-stress situation. Is there any truth to that? One of the reasons people love Halloween is because it produces strong emotional responses, and those responses work to build stronger relationships and memories. When we’re happy, or afraid, we’re releasing powerful hormones, like oxytocin, that are working to make these moments stick in our brain. So we’re going to remember the people we’re with. If it was a good experience, then we’ll remember them fondly and feel close to them, more so than if we were to meet them during some neutral unexciting event. Shelley Taylor discussed this in her article “Tend and Befriend: Biobehavioral Bases of Affiliation Under Stress.” She shows that we do build a special closeness with those we are with when we’re in an excited state, and more importantly, that it can be a really good thing. We’re social and emotional beings. We need each other in times of stress, so the fact that our bodies have evolved to make sure we feel close to those we are with when afraid makes sense. So yes, take your date to a haunted house or for a ride on a roller coaster; it’ll be a night you’ll never forget.

After reading the paragraph again, what is the author's central idea and what key details support the central idea?
