        研究:散播流言能讓人平靜 有益健康

        The study showed that passing on rumours could help us monitor people who behave badly and prevent each other from being exploited by malicious individuals

        Gossip is healthy because it helps calm you down and is important in maintaining social order, a new study claims.

        Idle chatter in the workplace or over a coffee is often viewed as a damaging habit which spreads salacious rumours and harms people's reputations.

        But new research suggests gossip could actually lower stress and help people overcome the frustration of seeing someone doing something wrong and getting away with it.

        Psychologists from the University of California, Berkeley, found that volunteers' heart rates rose when they observed someone misbehaving, but that this stopped when they were allowed to discuss what they had seen with others.

        The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, focused on "prosocial" gossip which helps spread information about dishonest people rather than voyeuristic chatter about celebrities' love lives, the researchers said.

        In a trial designed to determine how strong our urge is to spread gossip, some participants even said they would spend money in order to send a note warning others about people they had seen cheating in a trust exercise.

        Prof Robb Willer, one of the researchers, said: "Spreading information about the person whom they had seen behave badly tended to make people feel better, quieting the frustration that drove their gossip."

        The study also showed that passing on rumours could help us monitor people who behave badly and prevent each other from being exploited by malicious individuals, Prof Willer added.

        In an online trust game where players could lower their chances of winning by warning others about cheaters, the threat of being the subject of bad gossip encouraged people to play more fairly.

        Prof Willer said: "Gossip gets a bad rap, but we're finding evidence that it plays a critical role in the maintenance of social order."

        一項新研究稱,散播流言有益健康,因為散播流言能讓人平靜下來,對于維持社會秩序也很重要。

        在工作場所閑聊或邊喝咖啡邊聊天常被視為有害的習(xí)慣,因為它會傳播下流的謠言,損害人們的名譽。

        然而新研究顯示,散播流言其實能減輕壓力,幫助人們克服看到有人做錯事卻沒受懲罰的挫敗感。

        來自加利福尼亞大學(xué)伯克利分校的心理學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn),當(dāng)參加研究的志愿者看到某些人行為不端時心跳會加速,但當(dāng)他們可以和別人談?wù)撟约核吹降氖虑闀r心跳又會恢復(fù)正常。

        該研究發(fā)表在《個性與社會心理學(xué)雜志》上。研究者稱,這一研究關(guān)注的是幫助散播有關(guān)不正直的人的信息的“親社會”流言,而非談?wù)撁烁星樯畹母Q淫狂式的流言。

        為了明確了解我們散播流言的欲望有多強烈,研究人員開展了一個試驗,試驗中有些參與者甚至表示,會花錢寄信警告別人要提防那個自己發(fā)現(xiàn)在信任練習(xí)中作弊的人。

        其中一位研究人員羅伯?維勒教授說:“散播有關(guān)行為不端的人的信息會讓人們感覺好一些,撫平那種促使他們?nèi)ド⒉チ餮缘拇鞌「小!?/p>

        維勒教授補充說,研究還顯示,散播流言能幫助人們監(jiān)督那些行為不端的人,并防止大家受到惡人的利用。

        在一個網(wǎng)上信任游戲中,如果玩家向他人告發(fā)作弊者,作弊者獲勝的機會就會降低,害怕成為不利流言的主角的威脅鼓勵人們更公平地玩游戲。

        維勒教授說:“盡管人們對流言怨聲很多,但我們找到了證據(jù)證明它在維持社會秩序方面也發(fā)揮著重要的作用。”
