Why is swearing actually good for us?
Thanks for asking!
Do you ever feel bad about swearing out of frustration?
You know, when someone cuts in front of you while you're driving, you stub your toe or you accidentally delete an important file from your phone or PC.
Well, it's understandable if you want to keep your emotions under control or not set a bad example to any children around you.
But maybe you shouldn't actually feel bad at all.
It turns out that saying rude words may be good for us, and that's according to science.
Well, the findings come from a study by researchers at Keele University and were published in the quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology in March 2022.
The study suggested that swearing has some surprising health benefits.
It's kind of like a mood booster, according to lead researcher Richard Stevens.
He's quoted as saying swearing appears to produce a state of hot cognitions, helping us downplay everyday fears and concerns.
That's interesting.
Are there specific situations in which it helps then?
Yes, swearing can actually boost self-confidence for one thing and even have a physical impact.
The Keogh University study included experiments with two groups of volunteers, and those who were instructed to swear in certain situations then showed more physical strength and a greater willingness to take risks.
For example, those who first let out an expletive were then able to do a chair push-up exercise for longer on average.
The researchers concluded that the humorous aspect of swearing was a psychological pathway to amping up physical strength.
Absolutely.
According to the researchers, if you accidentally stub your toe and say a swear word, it might actually ease the pain.
In one experiment they had people stick their hands in freezing water.
Those who swore managed to handle the pain for longer than those who just used neutral language.
It seems that swearing can effectively distract us and that by getting emotionally worked up, our minds are taken off the pain.
