Last piece of chocolate tastes better Bashny.Net

According to a study conducted by American psychologists, the last piece of chocolate motivation and increases the sharpness of human perception. Psychologists believe that the awareness of the imminent end of the process causes a surge of motivation, in which a person either wants to finally enjoy (if the process was pleasant), or take home at least something good or useful (if the process left him indifferent). If the experience was negative, motivation increases the feeling of "a speedy deliverance" - in this case a person can exert more effort than usual to finish quickly nepriyatnoe.

In any case, scientists say, with any prolonged activity comes "near-final" stage, when the level of motivation increases. This condition can be provoked, just make sure the person that the final close. Psychologists attracted to experiment a total of 52 people, men and women. Subjects were offered to eat five small chocolates with different flavors in a random order (the order was recorded). Some people warned that they give the fifth and final chocolate, the rest stayed on this subject in the dark. Then they were asked to name the serial number of the most delicious variety. As a result, the last of the sequence was named the most delicious chocolate, more than 60% of the members and informed the group about 20% of the participants not alert opyta.

According to O'Brien, the experimental results are correlated with the general ideas about the optimism of human nature. "Many traditions in our lives prove a tendency to show optimism towards the end of a process or assume that" all will end well "... This is suggested by" happy endings "in the film, as well as dessert that people leave it to the end of the meal ", - he said.
