Middle YOU feel annoyed? Do not worry! For according to the study, feel annoyed, angry, or complain good for you. What article?
According to Joe Forgas psychologist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. The negative impact of happiness that comes from the cheerful mood tends to lull you into feeling safe. So this makes you are into the behavior of a more selfish and inconsiderate.
"The people in a positive mood is generally better to rely on their own thoughts and preferences. And their attention less on the outside world and social norms," said Forgas, as reported by the Times of India, on Thursday (09/16/2010).
To determine the influence of happiness in selfishness, Forgas and colleagues Hui Bing Tan puts 45 students in a good mood and bad by giving positive or negative feedback in test "cognitive" what they do.
The test was a fake and did not measure cognition, while the hole feedback has nothing to do with their performance. After using a questionnaire to establish that the volunteers really happy or sad, Forgas and Tan gave 10 raffle tickets for prizes at 20 Australian dollars.
Students can choose to share some of their ticket with others, or disclose their own selfish. As a result, the average student who praised still choose to save the ticket itself.
In other tests, Forgas and Tan uses film clips to set the mood. A total of 72 students was shown the clip comedy "Fawlty Towers" from British TV. While the other half are given the spectacle of a sad movie "Angela's Ashes". As a result, students are likely to share less happy. Forgas explained that happy people are more focused on themselves.
"Positive moods are signals from the sense of evolution that informed people realize that their situation is safe and not threatening," said Forgas.
"This encourages people to rely more on their own thoughts and preferences. The result is a selfish," he continued.
In addition, sputter or produce feelings of sadness thinking more vigilant, looking out.
"A negative mood produce more detailed style of thinking, careful, and paid more attention to the demands of the external environment," lid Forgas.
