Receiving bad news is better than waiting

A recent study said that no one wants to receive bad news, but for some people, getting no news is worse. Especially people with mild neurological problems are often very vulnerable to anxiety when they are always worried.

Psychologists have long known that bad news is more noticeable, easier to stimulate, while good news often impacts the brain more slowly. Scientists explain this phenomenon as a vital philosophy, part of a brain simulation that warns of a threat or a coming threat.

However, researchers at the University of Toronto want to learn more about how people respond to uncertainties - lack of unclear information or information. 41 people including women and men participated in this experiment to check how their nervous system reacted, then measured by electrodes to estimate brain activity when they completed the task. When it came to mood testing, investigators marked the activity of the nerve in the anterior lobe, a part of the brain that was encapsulated in a complex way that was in conflict, uncertain, and in error.

Participants were then asked questions to respond when they thought about the icons that appeared on the computer screen. After responding, they received feedback on the screen as a public sign showing good, a minus sign indicating the need for further improvement, or a question mark to indicate an additional explanation. Subjects who scored high on the neurological regimen showed that the brain was more active while responding to uncertain information than bad news. That shows that it is better to receive bad news than to wait for news to respond.

In the real world, high-level feedbacks can happen when an information worker gets a raise but is not sure when and if that is true. Jacob B. Hirsh, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Toronto and the lead author of the study, said that a high-excitable individual would respond less aggressively to losing excitement.

Contrary to those are those who are not easily neurotic. They do not care about uncertain news but they are often annoyed with negative feedback.

Richard Sorrentino, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario, who also researched this, examined a similar study when a man was looking for a wife. Sometimes they don't fully trust their partners and are not sure what they can believe. It can be said that those who like perfection, but always doubt everything, should think again. By one thing, people who often don't believe in everything often experience mental crisis, which can lead to severe neurasthenia. And if one day you are anxiously waiting for some news, don't be too bothered to do anything, because it will affect your health even more. Always remember the slogan 'What's coming will come. If it is good, it cannot be bad, but if it is bad, it is impossible to avoid it. '
