The

11 billion self?help industry is built on the idea that you should turn

negative

thoughts

like

“I

never

do

anything

right”

into

positive

ones

like

“I

can

succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right？

Is there

power in positive thinking?

Researchers

in

Canada

just

published

a

study

in

the

journal

Psychological

Science

that

says

trying

to

get

people

to

think

more

positively

can

actually

have

the

opposite

effect

：

it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.

The

stu

dy’s

authors，

Joanne

Wood

and

John

Lee

of

the

University

of

Waterloo

and

Elaine

Perunovic

of

the

University

of

New

Brunswick

，

begin

by

citing

older

research

showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive

，

they

actually

feel

worse

，

not

you

tell

your

dim

friend

that

he

has

the

potential

of an Einstein

，you’re

_just_unde rlining_his_faults.

In

one

1990s

experiment

，

a

team

including

psychologist

Joel

Cooper

of

Princeton

asked

participants

to

write

essays

opposing

funding

for

the

the

essayists

were

later

praised

for

their

sympathy

，

they

felt

even

worse

about

what

they

had written.

In

this

experiment

，< /p>

Wood

，

Lee

and

Perunovic

measured

68

students’self?

participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four

15

seconds

，

one

group

of

students

heard

a

it

rang

，

they

were

supposed to tell themselves

，“I am lovable.”

Those

with

low

self?esteem

didn’t

feel

better

after

the

forced

self? fact，

their moods turned significantly darker than those of

members of the control group

，who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.

The

paper

provides

support

for

newer

forms

of

psychoth erapy(

心理治疗

)

that

urge

people

to

accept

their

negative

thoughts

and

feelings

rather

than

fight

the

fighting

，

we

not

only

often

fail

but

can

make

things

)

techniques

，

in contrast

，

can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger

，

more realistic it the power of negative thinking.
