Whenever we watch a horror movie and something scary happens, we might close our eyes and scream. However, chances are that we'll continue to watch and enjoy the movie anyway. So why can fear be so much fun?
According to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in the US, watching horror movies can raise our mood, unite people and boost our confidence.
In the study, 262 adults were asked to enter a haunted house(鬼屋)attraction. In the haunted house for 35 minutes, they saw a series of tense scenes and were asked to record their feelings both before and after the experience. At the same time, the researchers also monitored their brain waves.
According to the researchers, the participants were more likely to be happier and less anxious and tired after they left the attraction. That's because in this intense condition their brains released more dopamine(多巴胺), a chemical which “produce a strong feeling of excitement and happiness lasting after the threat has passed,”reported Business Insider.
What's more taking advantage of this sensation may bring people together. People in scary situations are more likely to be uncertain and depend on others for support. “We’re social and emotional beings- we need each other in times of stress,so we feel close to those we are with when afraid makes sense.” Said Margee Kerr,one of the study’s authors.
In addition, it could be a good way to boost our confidence. “Being scared in a safe place is a source of enjoyment and makes us feel good physically and can even serve as a confidence boost by reminding us that we can make it through a scary situation,we are strong, Kerr told The Independent.

Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa,South America and some parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America,the population is growing slowly. This is because women in the countries have,on average (平均),only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950,around one quarter of the world's population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world's people.
In the developing counties more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor houses. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
At the beginning of the 21st century,the world's population was around six billion. The UN(联合国)has said that the world's population will continue to grow,reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable(稳定的),or even falls.
