A Flash of Red Can Sharpen Focus
When you need to make a tough decision, just think about the last time you were angry.
Get Lightly Steamed, Think Straight
Researchers recently put college coeds in an angry state and then asked them to read a couple of arguments about students’ spending habits. One argument was weak, the other strong. Students were better able to spot the stronger argument when they were a little peeved. Why? Anger may trigger adaptive behaviors -- the kind of behaviors that allow people to adjust to circumstances and make productive, constructive choices.
