There's something cathartic about having a good cry and "letting it all out," even if you don't have anything in particular that's bringing you down. 有些需要宣泄的事情会让你痛快的哭一场并且能让你全部发泄出来，尽管没有什么事情尤其是使你感到挫败的事情。 Or maybe not. Research published in the Journal of Research in Personality found that shedding some tears had no effect on the mood for nearly two-thirds of a group of women who kept daily emotion journals. 或者可能并不是这样子的。在人格杂志上发表的一个研究说明，对于将近三分之二的一群女性她们每天都保持记录自己的情绪，流泪对宣泄情绪并没有什么作用。 "Crying is not nearly as beneficial as people think it is," Jonathan Rottenberg, lead author of the study and an associate professor of psychology at the University of South Florida told MSNBC's Body Odd. "Only a minority of crying episodes were associated with mood improvement -- against conventional wisdom." Jonathan Rottenberg,他是这个研究的主编，同时也是南佛罗里达大学心理学副教授，他在msnbc的奇怪的身体的节目中提到其实哭泣不并像人们所认为的那样有益。 As part of the study, 97 Dutch women between the ages of 18 and 48 logged a total 1,004 crying episodes as part of daily mood journals they kept over a three month period. For 61% of the women, crying didn't improve mood at all, although the tears didn't make them feel worse: only 9% of respondents reported feeling more sad after a crying jag, while 30% reported feeling better. |
