Remember, when you last in your hearts, from fear or stress used a strong word. And you know that in the Ukrainian language there is a term describing this behavior?

So, the word itself is a borrowing from Greek. It combines two roots: Lalia - " In psychology, the term "

Last year, the dictionary of the Ukrainian language and slang " The reason is clear: because of the war, we all now live in constant stress and look for different ways to facilitate it. The use of curses can be called one of the least harmful.

But does such a practice help? In 2010, the playful Shnobel Prize, which is presented for “discoveries that first force us to laugh and then think,” in the “MIR” category were received by the university’s researchers from the English city Kil Richard Stepens, John Atkins and Andrew Kingston. They were awarded "

To confirm this assumption, they forced the subjects of the subjects to immerse their hands in ice water. When it hurt from the cold, they had to pronounce a word-abusive or neutral. At the same time, scientists recorded the speed of their heartbeat and then interviewed the subjective level of perception of pain. The results were issued in full scientific work and published in the publication Neuro Report.

It turned out that the curse really allowed the subjects better to endure pain. And also increased the number of heart contractions at the same time. "

As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Raphael Antonio, told the HealthLine publication, curses can give real relief when we feel frustration, which is difficult for us to cope. Several strong words spoken aloud are able to immediately reduce the degree of complex emotions that we experience.

Dr. Antonio also explained that in situations where we cannot do anything to solve our problem, abuse may become the only effective exit.

She will not tell a way out of the situation, but she will give a short respite, during which we will drop a little extra tension and calm down. This practice is able to increase our stability before potential new adverse circumstances, which we do not control.

But bad news for those who often use abuse in everyday life. Those who are constantly swearing, the effectiveness of swearing in peak situations is reduced. Therefore, psychologists recommend using it as a tool for relieving stress, and not replace it with ordinary words or punctuation marks in sentences.
