看悲傷電影 更快樂?
Watching Sad Movies Actually Makes You
Happier
Jamie Condliffe gizmodo
From bawling your eyes out over Bambi as a
kid, to the slow, painful tug of the heart strings that was Beginners, most of
us are suckers for a sad film. But a new study suggests that the reason for
that might be incredibly simple: It turns out that sad films make us happy.
The research, carried out at The Ohio State
University, tried to get to the bottom of our emotional reactions to sad
cinema. To do that, researchers sat down 361 college students and made them
watch the 2007 movie Atonement. That flick, in case you missed it, features two
separated lovers who die as war casualties. That counts as sad.
Before and after the viewing, the
participants were asked how happy they were with their life, and during the
film they were also asked to rate their current emotional state.
The result? People who experienced the
greatest increase in sadness during the movie reported increased life happiness
after viewing it. They also rated the film as being better. The results appear
in Communication Research. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, one of the researchers,
explains to Science Daily:
"People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important
relationships in their own life, to count their blessings. That can help
explain why tragedies are so popular with audiences, despite the sadness they
induce."
Previous psychological research has linked
sadness with increased thoughtfulness. What's happening with sad movies, say
the researchers, is that when they trigger a big enough emotional response,
viewers begin to analyze their personal lives and appreciate them more. That
makes them happier.
Of course, if your personal life is in
complete tatters, you might not achieve quite these results. You should
probably watch the Muppets instead.
Taiwan 7-Eleven launches fitness gym at
Taipei store
Taiwan News
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) - Taiwan's 7-Eleven
announced it will launch a gym at one of its convenience stores in Taipei,
following its endeavor to diversify services at different locations, which have
included a beauty service "K.Seren" in Banqiao of New Taipei last
month, and a completely automated "X-Store" in Taipei City early this
year.
Running from 6 a.m. in the morning to
midnight seven days a week, the gym is the first of its kind in the country,
and is located on the second floor of a 7-Eleven store near MRT Xingtian Temple
Station, although is not pioneering the concept. Japan's FamilyMart started a
24-hour fitness gym last December, and aims to open 300 gyms on the second
floors of FamilyMart stores throughout the country within five years.
The gym, 55 pings, has shower and changing
rooms, and a total of 40 different types of workout equipment including:
treadmills, smith cage, adjustable bench, kettlebells and dumbbells. Shampoo,
lotion, and hair dryers are provided in the shower rooms. The gym will charge
each guest NT$100 (US$3.36) for the first hour and NT$40 (US$1.34) for each subsequent
30 minute period.
Paid personal trainers for boxing, TRX
suspension, kettlebell, weight trainings, and group courses for TRX, Pilates,
Barre, and different types of Yoga will also be made available upon
request.
The gym is run under the brand name BEING
Fit, a subsidiary of the Uni-president Group (統一集團). The
group operates all the 7-Eleven convenience store chains in Taiwan.
Beingspa General Manager Chen Pei-rong (陳佩蓉) told media on Monday that the country's second 7-Eleven gym is on
the way, and that more gyms are being planned for the central and southern
regions of the country.
The 7-Eleven store with a gym will be
selling sportswear, underwear, protein bars, post-workout beverages and related
products for gym goers.
