Don't save stress alone - Sharing with other people, whether pleasant or not, is the key to happy. A new study from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business in Los Angeles revealed that stress is not a flavor that should be kept alone, share them with others can reduce fear.
The study, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science shows, dividing stress with someone who has a similar emotional reactions can reduce levels of stress. Even levels of stress can be decreased rather than share it to others who have never felt the same experience.
In this study, the researchers measured the emotional conditions, levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and sense of self is threatened in 52 female volunteers. The trick is to require volunteers to prepare and deliver speeches that were recorded.
Volunteers then split in pairs to discuss their feelings towards their stress situations. In particular, the feelings of stress when they have to face the speech live.
The researchers found that when couples have a similar emotional state, it will help every individual to resist high stress levels. They say this finding could be useful for those who are stressed because of work.
Study Chairman Sarah Townsend, assistant professor of management and organization at the USC Marshall School of Business, said, for example when you have to do important work presentation to a large project, a little more you will feel threatened and experiencing high levels of stress.
"However, by dividing the sense of stress on co-workers who are also experiencing the same emotional state, your fear will diminish and was more relaxed in completing your task," said Townsend.
