现在,有充分证据表明,数钱能带给人好心情。根据发表在《心理科学》杂志上的一项新研究,点钞能减少心理和生理疼痛,也能增加无畏和信心等情绪。研究也发现,就像一个硬币有正反两面,数钱也同样有另一面:当想到最近的消费情况时,人们的心理和生理痛苦程度也会升高。此项研究的发起人——中山大学的周欣悦,明尼苏达大学的凯瑟琳·弗贺斯及佛罗里达州立大学的罗伊·鲍迈斯特,集中研究金钱的象征性力量。 Now there is good evidence that counting money can give a good mood. According to a new study published in the Journal of Psychiatry, counting can reduce psychological and physical pain and increase moods such as fearlessness and confidence. The study also found that just as a coin has two sides, the same goes for money: People’s psychosocial and physical pain increases when they think about recent spending. The sponsors of the study, Zhou Xinyue of Sun Yat-sen University, Catherine Foshes of the University of Minnesota and Roy Baumeister of Florida State University, focused on the symbolic power of money.
