Would you rather hear the good news first, or the bad news 1st? And why.

Good news. If I hear the Bad news first, I wouldn't pay attention to the good news. I'd probably still be going D:.

I've read about psychological studies in which people react better to hearing bad news first because they often forget what it was or feel less distressed after hearing the good news.

yeah... even if the bad news comes first... by comparison the good news will look like JESUS COMING FROM HEAVEN, so then you forget about the bad news...

What if the good news isn't as "good" as you thought? Double disappointment.

Good news then bad news Because I'd still be hyped when I heard the bad news. It'd die down but still.. @Pur3pwn - So, you don't believe in germs or air? You can't feel, breath, 'bang', or see germs(unless you have a extremely good microscope and have witnessed seeing germs) or air.

I like hearing the good second to end on a high note.

Bad news first, good news second to relieve me from the bad news.
