It’s Better to Hush your Feelings - says Navtej Kohli

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Today I come across another study challenging conventional wisdom and a very popular belief, unburdening oneself is healthy. This study paradoxically says that bottling up your feelings is better. Navtej Kohli Interest Blog features the complete report:

Debunking the popular notion that unburdening oneself might be normal or even healthy, the study suggests that those who remain silent might be better off than those who vent their feelings!

In a finding that goes against conventional wisdom, a new study contends that it is better to keep your feelings bottled up - particularly after experiencing a traumatic event like a terrorist attack.

The study, by Mark Seery of the University of Buffalo, focused on people’s responses to the terrorist attacks of Sep 11, 2001.

The findings have important implications for expectations of how people should respond in the face of a collective trauma affecting a community or a nation, said Seery.

He said the results should not be interpreted to mean that expressing one’s thoughts and feelings is harmful or that if someone wants to express their emotions they should not do so.

“It’s important to remember that not everyone copes with events in the same way, and in the immediate aftermath of a collective trauma, it is perfectly healthy to not want to express one’s thoughts and feelings,” he noted.

“We found… people who chose not to express were better off than people who did choose to express,” Seery said.

Seery pointed out that immediately after last year’s tragic shootings at Virginia Tech University there were many “talking head” psychiatrists in the media describing how important it is to get all the students expressing their feelings.

“Instead, we should be telling people there is likely nothing wrong if they do not want to express their thoughts and feelings after experiencing a collective trauma.

“In fact, they can cope quite successfully and, according to our results, are likely to be better off than someone who does want to express his or her feelings.”

Hmmm…Sounds Interesting!

I think bottling up feelings to an extent is normal, but there has to be a point of saturation. As for myself, I really cant dissimulate my feelings for long! What About  you?

The Old men gets luckier - Navtej Kohli

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

If you’re above forty and looking for an ideal life parter, chances are your bride may be significantly younger to you.

Well, it not my personal opinion but the findings of the new US research. Navtej Kohli Interest blog features the entire report:

A new research suggests the older a man, the greater the likelihood that his bride will be significantly younger - whether that man is wealthy and educated or not.

“If you look at guys who do marry, the poor guys marry down in age just as much as the rich guys do,” quoted Paula England, a Stanford University sociologist and co-author of the study.

“That was kind of surprising to us,” she added.

Men in their 40s tend to marry women who average seven years younger, and men in their 50s are marrying brides who average 11 years younger, according to England’s research. Interestingly, men in the 60s tend to marry women who are 13 years younger.

However, in first marriages, men are typically a couple years older than women, but the older men are when they marry, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a first or a second marriage, the more years they marry down, the research highlighted.

England and research partner Elizabeth McClintock of Stanford said that the male ideal of beauty is found in women in their early 20s, and that ideal remains fixed for men no matter that they themselves are growing older.

“Women may be a little more indifferent to age than men are because they are not judging people as much on looks,” she added.

I m Navtej Kohli and I am the publishing editor of Navtej Kohli Interest blog, Navtej Kohli Sports Blog and Navtej Kohli IT blog. Earlier, I have posted my address and contact numbers on these blogs… but I had to remove them from all of my blogs, reason was simple…Cold calling an editor/publisher is NOT okay!

Seriously you guys, I don’t understand why people think this is a good idea. I’ve had not less than 14 persons get me on the phone somehow in the last month, and before I say any word they are pitching their requirements to me.

Not Okay. There are submission guidelines for every kind of blog on the net and my blogs being personal and very niche, I never know how to respond to these people.
