10 positive properties of anger

Anger is considered very negative emotion that does not lead to anything good, but it's not that prosto

long time ago, in a distant galaxy, a wise green Doll said: "Anger leads to hate and hate to suffering." But if anger is indeed a monster, what makes us his show? Anger is seen as a destructive force, and sometimes it is quite correct, but every emotion has its place and its advantages. The researchers found that anger has unexpected qualities of which you may not even be aware.

1. Anger helps peregovorah



Negotiations imply that you are smarter and more sensible of his opponent, is not it? Not really. Studies show that sometimes a manifestation of madness can help the cause. People are "programmed" the fact to be careful around people who are angry. However, there are several caveats. First of all, this rule works only with the Europeans and with the Americans. In Asian cultures, a manifestation of anger during negotiations considered rude, so in this case, anger can only harm the cause. Secondly, if you are angry, it must be real anger. If the person in front of you will understand that you are just pretending, it can inflate their claims. Researchers say feigned anger destroys trust.

2. Anger can help karere

People who allow their anger to manifest freely, more fully in a career and in life compared to those who keep it all inside. This statement is consistent with other studies that show that if you are angry, people think that you deserve a higher status and higher salaries ... but only if you're a man. It was found that both men and women believe that angry people need to be rewarded. On the other hand, the representatives of both genders agree that women are incompetent angry.

This works even when you are interviewing. The figures show that the average salary, appointed by angry men during the interview was nearly 38000 $, while angry women received an average of 23,000 $, but for women there is a positive aspect: if they explain that their angry, people usually judge them more fairly. But if a man begins to explain why he was angry, he would look weak.

3. Angry live longer

Passionate Italians and Spaniards hot live almost twice as long than the relatively calm British, because they show anger - healthy. Recent studies show that people curb their anger and frustration, one can just drop dead. "Absorption" own anger increases heart rate, which can result in rise and blood pressure. High blood pressure, in turn, can lead to a variety of diseases, from cardiovascular to cancer. On the other hand, the "chronically evil people" can also develop coronary heart disease. So it is useful only mild anger.

4. Anger reduces crime



Psychologists and parents around the world for many years, said that violent video games make kids violent. This makes sense, since playing violent games can be insensitive. But a recent study found that violent video games, in fact, help to reduce the level of violence. In one school 80% of the boys were playing in a very bloody game, and did so for many years. No criminal intent, they did not show. In fact, the number of juvenile offenders since 1994, the year was reduced by more than half, especially where society is concerned an increase in the level of violence. On the other hand, the sale of violent videogames almost 1994 years almost doubled. One study shows that in the months when sales start much anticipated game, recorded the lowest crime rates. So you can play really wreak violence? The final decision on the matter is still pending, however, some researchers have clearly hinted that violent games reduce the level of violence. In one study, financed from the federal budget, which was attended by children from the "clinical increase in attention deficit or depressive symptoms," it became clear that violent video games may have a slight sedative effect, and that they help "eliminate aggressive habits and disruptive behavior." < br />
5. Anger helps kreativnosti

You just can not imagine something? Then you can try to get angry. Studies have shown that anger helps us to think outside the box. Angry man generates unique ideas much faster than a person in any other emotional state. However, such an increase in creative abilities does not last too long. In the end, the anger will pass, your skin will lose its green color, and you will become a normal person again.

Scientists believe that our thinking has become so in the course of evolution as early man could do something very quickly come up only when his life was in danger. Anger charges us with energy, and runs a "more flexible, unstructured process of thinking." That is all the techniques and methods that typically uses the mind to find solutions, in a state of anger would not be used. An angry person thinks as he can never think of being calm.

6. Broil - it's good for the relationship

The age-old adage recommending to forgive and forget, may be wrong, according to researchers from the University of Florida. Sometimes angry - is the best medicine. There is an approach called "positive psychology." His idea is that forgiveness, optimism, kindness and positive thinking can help in a relationship, where there are serious problems. That is only occasionally rather than to heal the wounds, forgiveness can only exacerbate the situation. Researchers have found that if you constantly 'spread: "Forgiveness, some people may use this to hurt you again.

Anger is manifested in the relationship, telling people that their behavior is unacceptable, and that they should stop. Other, independent research scientists from the University of Michigan found that couples who suppress their anger, the chances of dying sooner is very high. So you need to quarrel often, it's good for your health. But there is a caveat: the good people at the University of Berkeley, said that "despite the fact that both spouses are equally capable of" cool "in the conflict, emotional regulation husband has virtually no impact on the long-term marital satisfaction." In other words, this lady should be cool in the first place, and to suggest a solution.

7. Anger draws devushek

Two studies have shown that the owners of the "dark triad" personality traits (narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism) more chances to get a girl. Narcissism describes someone who is too highly of himself. Under psychopathy here means the one who is looking for thrills and not able to sympathize. And the one who is lying manipulator, is the second Machiavelli. The researchers say that although these features are not very useful for the society, their carriers still occur. A separate study shows that women are also attracted to men, which they considered more whimsical and smiling man may be a disappointment to them. Why are women attracted to such people? Scientists do not know exactly that, but it may have something to do with testosterone. Men with high testosterone levels tend to be the dominant features. So women may simply involve the highest levels of testosterone. However, all this requires careful study because scientists have also found that despite its appeal, the owners of the "dark triad" a manipulative and prone to lies, so they are likely to have problems with the creation of a stable long-term relationship.

8. Anger opens your razum

People have a tendency to look for information that is already in line with their position. A person usually does not go beyond their "comfort zone" and does not listen to things that could call into question his own beliefs ... as long as no angry. Studies show that when a person is angry, he is much more likely looking for "uncomfortable information." In other words, a person can receive the information on the other hand. This is because bad people love to argue, but to do this successfully, it is required to study carefully the position of the opponent. Nevertheless, it has a side effect: better informed people to change their views to the contrary, compared with those who never listens to the opinions of others. Despite this, the researchers believe that the introduction of conflict in a group can actually help the group make more informed decisions.

9. Anger makes you chestnee

And that's exactly what the police expect. If you are accused of a crime you did not commit, you will eventually get angry. And the police are able to distinguish, this is anger, or not. If it is genuine, it will be a slight advantage in favor of your innocence. Anger - one of the key emotions, which pay attention to the police during the interrogation of suspects.

The research is supported by: Accused people mistakenly show the whole range of verbal and nonverbal signs confirming that they are telling the truth. In addition, zlyaschiysya people with high probability expresses his true opinion. Anger increases confidence, and confident person, as a rule, more open and more telling the truth.

10. Anger makes you optimistichnee

Let's say you were on the coterie of evil men and they started to say something bad about your mother. How will you feel? You can start to get angry. But ultimately you can feel the rush of optimism, at least, so say scientists from Carnegie Mellon University. When you encounter any stressful situation, a little anger will help to create the feeling that you control the situation, which in turn will give optimistic about future developments. And under stress is much better than fear. Fear can cause depression, which did not help the situation.
