Happy Thoughts Help People Cope With Fear of Dying
October 23, 2007 at 1:17 PM
Mental Health News
The researchers found that the volunteers who were preoccupied with thoughts of death were emotionally not at all morose.
In fact, they were much more likely than control subjects to summon up positive emotional associations rather than neutral or negative ones.
This, the psychologists suggest is because the brain is involuntarily searching out and activating pleasant, positive information from the memory banks in order to help the brain cope with an incomprehensible threat.
The results are reported in the November issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
