8.Bad moods can actually be good for you-an Australian study finds that being sad makes people less possible to be taken in,improves their ability to judge others and also improves memory.The study,carried out by psychology professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales,showed that people in a negative mood were more critical of,and paid more attention to their surroundings than happier people,who were more likely to believe anything they were told."Although positive mood seems to promote creativity,flexibility,cooperation,negative moods lead to more attentive,careful thinking and encourage people to pay greater attention to the outside world,"Forgas wrote."Our research suggests that sadness promotes information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations."
For the study,Forgas and his team conducted several experiments that started with inducing (引起,导致)happy or sad moods in participants through watching films and recalling positive or negative events.In one of the experiments,happy and sad participants were asked to judge the truth of urban myths and rumors and found that people in a negative mood were less likely to believe these statements.People in a bad mood were also less likely to make quick decisions based on racial or religious prejudices(偏见),and they were less likely to make mistakes when asked to recall an event that they witnessed.
The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments.Forgas said this showed that a negative mood may actually promote a clearer and more successful communication style."
"Positive mood is not universally desirable:people in negative mood are less prone to judgmental errors,and are better at producing high-quality,effective persuasive arguments"Forgas wrote.
