As an anxious person, I find the mantra "go with your gut" endlessly frustrating. What's so trustworthy about my gut instinct, which has, at various times, convinced me I'm dying of brain cancer, or about to get on an airplane doomed to crash, or destined to be alone forever? My therapist has had to remind me many times over that my so-called instincts have been wrong before and will be wrong again. But I've remained somewhat convinced that there is a "real" gut instinct somewhere beneath all my fake ones, and if only I knew how to access it, I would finally be perfectly wise, centred, and calm.
患有焦虑症的我发现"听从自己的直觉"这一准则太难遵守了。我的直觉为何值得信赖?毕竟直觉时不时的让我确信自己将死于脑癌,或是上了一架注定要坠毁的飞机,亦或是注定要孤独终老。
Unfortunately for me, a new study suggests this is probably not the case, and I am forever doomed to second-(and third-, and fourth-) guessing my every choice. In their study, researchers attempted to examine and compare the intuitive decision-making abilities of anxious, neutral, and optimistic people. More than a hundred participants were randomly assigned to each of these three groups, and "inducted" into the corresponding mood by viewing a series of emotionally coded sentences and images.
不幸的是,对我来说一项新研究表明也许情况并非如此,我将永远怀疑自己的每一个选择。在他们的研究中,研究人员试图检查和对比焦虑人士、中性人士以及乐观人士的直观决策能力。100多名受试者被随机分配成上列三组,研究人员给受试者看一系列抒发情感的语句和图片,以将他们"引入"到相应的情绪中。
