Repeating curses can temporarily increase the physical strength and intensify the motivational systems of the brain, showed a new study of the international scientists. The work was published in the "QJep)" quarterly in the "Experimental Psychology".
Attempts have confirmed that after a multiple repetition of the word chosen by the participants, the force of the attack on average increased by 1.4 kg, compared to the neutral word. In addition, volunteers reported greater emotional rise, humor feeling and distracting attention.
The authors attribute this to the activation of the so-called behavioral approach system, which is a motivational chain responsible for pursuing the goals. The "Bas Drive" is especially grown, which reflects the power of desire.
At the same time, expectations on the reduction of the electrical signal of the brain, which caused the so-called error, have not been met. Ern's amplitude has not decreased, which shows that the internal error monitoring system has continued to operate as in control.
According to researchers, this questions the assumption that cursing reduces self-control. It is possible that the impact is expressed in increasing emotional and motivational involvement, not by pressure from self-monitoring functions.
Previous studies have shown that the use of swearing can reduce the perception of pain and improve physical resilience. The new data confirms this phenomenon, but clarify that the brain continues to strictly follow the mistakes.
