Saer De said, human beings have a special mentality, afraid of
something that is sought. But we can not help but ask, what are the benefits of experience fear?
Fear, but security
Fundamentally
speaking, fear is a way to perceive the threat of an early warning
system, able man to win time to escape or grabbed the nearest frying
pan counterattack. We will some picture, sound and even smell and danger associated and stored in the amygdala. Amygdala is an almond shaped soft tissue located near the center of the brain. Almond physical cause systemic reactions within a few milliseconds, the release of stress hormones in the body activities. The
massive release of hormones will accelerate the heart rate so that more
blood flow to the muscles, and shut down non-emergency functions of the
immune and digestive.
According
to Ledoux, Director of the Neuroscience Research Center of New York
fear and anxiety, all of which occurred in the course of impulsive idea
has not been responsible for more rational thinking brain center. Is simply fear spurred the first to escape and then to assess the threat. Monitoring
Experiment movie audience found the the horror screen appears when they
appear rapid heartbeat, skin sweating reaction, as if they themselves
are going through fear.
Some
scientists believe that some people like a horror film is because it
can give them a safe environment to experience the fear stimulus. Saer
De said, this area of the brain, the amygdala respond to input
information and the release of hormones, the prefrontal cortex will
provide additional protection structure; We have enough control, to
know that we're not in danger, and be able to balance the adrenaline.
Fear, enhance your attractiveness
Another explanation of the attractiveness of the horror film "snuggle theory. In
a famous experiment conducted in 1986, a psychologist at Indiana
University Zillman 36 for students couple screening of the horror film
"Black Friday" fragment, then interview them. This movie more uncomfortable reaction women more her boyfriend that she was attractive. This movie more calm reaction of men, the more his girlfriend that he is attractive.

agrees: to see most horror movies give him the opportunity to become
the protector of her show their compassion and opportunity to express
companionship needs. She
said that, although I think that the recognition of this point is not
particularly glorious, but my first date, indeed, to do so.
And threatened death moviegoing need to be cautious
The fear may be fatal. Samuels,
director of the Department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital
in Boston has received hundreds of death report, the deaths occurred in
the face of extreme stress or emotional shock of sudden death. Samuels
said, the Myocardial not willpower to control a specific form of
contraction, and unable to relax again due to the massive release of
stress hormones. He believes that many disaster victims may die from fear rather than trauma, autopsy evidence is difficult.
The researchers noted that the rise in the number of earthquakes or other disasters, sudden cardiac death. Example,
a study published by the American College of Cardiology Journal,
September 11, 2001, the 12th and the 13th, that is, after the terrorist
attacks just happened, 11 hospitals in Worcester County, Massachusetts,
heart disease cases usually three times. People will be extremely happy or excited heart attack, such as a golf hole or acquitted.
Few cases, people would be illusory status of fatal reactions. Died
of a heart attack, a woman in Wichita, Kansas City seems to be watching
the 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ" Jesus was crucified in the
movie scene. In addition there are at least two children obviously are scared to death of roller coaster at the amusement park.]
