venting out anger


contrary to popular belief , venting out anger, in ways such as punching a pillow, is not a therapeutic ''healthy'' release. psychologists have found that venting out anger actually increases rather than decreases aggresive behaviour because people the give themselves permission to relax their self-control. in addition , experimental subjects who hit a punching bag to vent out anger, were later found to be more aggressive in competitive tasks. '' the keep trying to get his emotional release, but it never happens , '' explains brad bushman of iowa state university .


tradução

exalando raiva


contrariamente à crença popular, desabafar a raiva, de maneiras como socar um travesseiro, não é uma liberação terapêutica "saudável". os psicólogos descobriram que exalar a raiva na verdade aumenta em vez de diminuir o comportamento agressivo, porque as pessoas se dão permissão para relaxar seu autocontrole. além disso, indivíduos experimentais que atingiram um saco de pancadas para desabafar a raiva foram considerados mais agressivos em tarefas competitivas. "o continua tentando obter sua libertação emocional, mas isso nunca acontece", explica Brad Bushman, da Universidade Estadual de Iowa.
