It's a fascinating story about a social psychology concept called "Noncomplimentary behavior" - deliberately NOT matching the tone/intent/intensity of messages aimed at us. Noncomplimentary behaviors may help defuse negative situations. As far as I know this idea isn't in intro. psych. textbooks yet, but high school students will find it fascinating, and it may be very relevant (and useful) in their lives.
