Bad things always remember longer than good

Research results show that people often remember bad things a lot longer than good ones.

Psychologists from Saint Louis University (USA) have let a group of students hear words in foreign languages ​​express their feelings and then ask them to record the words they remember. The numerical results from expressing negative emotions are more remembered by them.

After that, people showed volunteers to watch clips of good and bad details interspersed, many sentences or bad words . then let each person recount separately. The result is the same, the positive circumstances, the saying or the memory just dim and vice versa, the bad stories, the negative statements are remembered more carefully.

The general conclusion is, bad things are always more impressive, remember longer. So it is understandable that the case is remembered more by people than 'good people, good deeds' . The proverb 'good long-remembered piece, life-long pain' also shows that experience.

The problem is, the brain continues to process information after an event occurs. The deeper experiences will be recorded 'deeper' , 'darker' .
