    ?

    Chu Lihua felt that today, the word that expressed emotion that Meng Xianxiang quoted was the biggest highlight.

    Moreover, according to the book that Yao Livas shared with you, it can be seen that not only the Chinese people, but people all over the world have the problem of swearing.

    ¡ª¡ª"I see that everyone is lost in thought. It seems that everyone more or less agrees with this point of view, right?

    In fact, if you want to express logic or state a fact, swear words are really useless.  However, if you want to express emotions, especially extreme emotions such as panic, anger, and fear, swear words are very efficient.

    You can imagine if every extreme emotion corresponds to a few specific swear words.  And once you change them into other languages, you always feel that there is something missing.

    Borrowing the original words of the author of the book, she said that swearing is to let emotions hitch a ride on language, so as to obtain instant communication.

    In other words, you can also regard swear words as real-time expressions of emotions.  This function also brings an incidental result, that is, when we communicate with people, if the other party's language inadvertently brings out a few swear words.  We feel that the person's emotional state is real.

    For example, at the Erasmus University in the Netherlands, two professors once conducted an experiment, simulating the court trial scene.

    Volunteers will serve as the jury, and a few actors will be found as the defendants.  Let the volunteers judge whether the defendant is telling the truth.

    It turned out that when stating the fact that those emotions were particularly strong, such as, I was wronged.  Adding a swear word or two to these particularly emotionally charged content can make the accused look more believable.

    For another example, in 2017, big data analysts from the United States, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and several other countries conducted a study together.  They examined more than 70,000 Facebook feeds.

    It turned out that there was a negative correlation between swear words and lies.  In other words, the higher the probability of swearing in a post, the smaller the potential lies in this post.

    In fact, this is not difficult to understand.  Because lying requires thinking.  You need to mobilize your logical ability.  However, when people swear, they tend to be more emotional. At this time, their logical ability is largely blocked.

    And shielding the logical ability is equivalent to losing the ability to lie to a large extent.  This is why it is easier for others to believe if you say a little dirty word appropriately.

    Of course, in the final analysis, these effects are all because swear words are a container of emotions and one of the most efficient means of expressing extreme emotions.  This is the first function of swear words.

    The second function of swear words is to act as a safety valve for the organization.  It can reduce the chance of violence in a group.

    Simply put, it was time to do it.  However, after cursing with swear words, he suddenly found that his anger was gone, and there was no need to do anything.

    This process is actually not difficult to understand.  Because the essence of most acts of violence is that the person concerned is actually releasing his desire to attack.

    Violence is only a means of satisfaction.  However, if this aggressive desire can be satisfied in other ways, violence will not really happen.  And swear words have exactly this effect.

    According to the research of linguists, swear words are largely born out of curses.  In other words, swear words are curses simplified.  Curses are swear words that magnify the sense of ritual.

    You can recall whether many swear words contain the meaning of this curse.  For example, scolding the other party for having a child.

    Borrowing the author's original words, people who scold others always feel that it seems that swear words can make wind and rain, change the sky and bring disasters.  (laugh)

    Of course, this will not have any impact on reality.  But when it comes to the person concerned, the desire to attack has been released.  People who swear words are satisfied, and the probability of violence naturally decreases.

    There is a linguist named Melissa Moore who once wrote a book called "A Brief History of Dirty Words".  She says in the book, take away the swear words and we're left with fists and guns.

    This is the second role of swear words, as a safety valve for the organization, reducing the chance of violence.

    The two functions of the swear words mentioned above are to increase communication efficiency and reduce the chance of violence, and they are all about the level of cooperation between people.

    Next, there is a third effect, which is more direct, and it directly acts on each of us.  That is, pain relief.  As the man just said, swearing can relieve pain.

    You can imagine, if you were suddenly scalded by boiling water or pricked by a needle, what would be your reaction?  Most likely, it was not shouting pain, but swearing.

      (laughs)

    And the inspiration I got from this book is that swearing in this situation is not because of lack of education.  This is actually a very normal instinctive reaction.  And swearing can really ease the pain.  "

    Meng Xianxiang looked relieved, and everyone also looked thoughtful.

    No one raised a rebuttal, and they all recalled whether such a thing had happened to them.

    As far as Chu Lihua is concerned, when she gets stabbed or something, she usually says, "Fuck your sister!", and occasionally says, "Oh, I'll go! Let's do it!"

    Feeling everyone's expectations, Yaolivas spoke again, "Things that have not been verified can only be regarded as guesses, so a psychologist named Richard Stephens once conducted a verification experiment.

    He gathered 67 volunteers and asked them to put their hands in ice water.  Take it out until it's too cold to bear.  These volunteers were divided into two groups.  One group can swear, if you feel cold, you can swear at will.  And the other group was banned from swearing.

    ?It was found that the swearing group generally felt less pain than the non-swearing group when recalling the experimental process.

    And not only physical pain, but also psychological pain, such as breaking up with a lover, being judged by a friend, and being insulted by others. When suffering from these psychological pains, swearing can also relieve pain.

    At the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma, a professor named Rudy did an experiment.  It is also to divide the volunteers into two groups, and then let them participate in the psychological questionnaire survey.

    Of course, the result has already been set. No matter how you answer, the final evaluation report will tell you that you have serious personality problems, no one likes you, and you will not grow up even if you get married. You are doomed to be lonely in this life.

    Obviously, this result hits people hard.  When it comes down to feeling, it hurts.  But what's interesting is that if the person concerned is asked to swear a few words, they will obviously feel that the heartache is much less.  "

    Lanzhi also silently cursed in her heart, and found that she really felt much more at ease.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
