Writing Exercise May Lessen Performance Anxiety's Effects

焦慮成疾不要緊，奮筆疾書(shū)幫大忙

?Performance anxiety can be crippling. Entertainers who suffer from it come up with creative defenses. Bono has his purple shades. The indie rock singer Cat Power faces away from the audience. Others turn to more standard solutions like Xanax.

表現(xiàn)性焦慮可能會(huì)帶來(lái)嚴(yán)重后果。深受此害的專(zhuān)業(yè)演員們可謂是各出奇招。波諾用紫色來(lái)打掩護(hù)，獨(dú)立搖滾歌手貓女魔力轉(zhuǎn)臉不看觀(guān)眾，而其他人則通常用贊安諾等來(lái)舒緩焦慮。

But there might be a healthier quick fix: writing. Because new research reveals that writing about your specific worries just before a performance can reduce the risk of blowing it due to anxiety. The work appears in the journal Science.

但可能有更加快捷健康的解決方法：寫(xiě)作。因?yàn)橐豁?xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，表演之前寫(xiě)下你擔(dān)心的事情可以減小因焦慮而搞砸的概率。這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)刊登在《科學(xué)》雜志上。

Researchers gave 20 students two math tests. The students did nothing special before the first test. But before the second test, students were told they’d receive money for high marks. Half of the students were then instructed to take 10 minutes and write down any concerns they had about the test. The other half sat quietly.

研究人員讓20名學(xué)生參與測(cè)試。第一場(chǎng)測(cè)試進(jìn)行時(shí)一切都很普通，但在第二場(chǎng)測(cè)試之前，他們告知學(xué)生測(cè)試成績(jī)高可以獲得金錢(qián)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。然后他們引導(dǎo)半數(shù)學(xué)生用10分鐘寫(xiě)下關(guān)于測(cè)試的焦慮，另一半則只是安靜地坐著。

Those who just sat waiting did 12 percent worse on the second test than on the first. But those who wrote about their fears showed a five percent improvement on the exam.

坐著等候的學(xué)生的第二場(chǎng)考試成績(jī)比第一場(chǎng)低了12%，但寫(xiě)下焦慮事項(xiàng)的學(xué)生成績(jī)則高了5%。

Another part of the research found that writing in general didn’t work—it had to be about test-related concerns to trigger the effect. So to write may prevent some wrongs.

研究的另一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)話(huà)題廣泛的寫(xiě)作起不了什么作用——必須是和測(cè)試有關(guān)的擔(dān)心才有效。因此寫(xiě)作也許能夠避免錯(cuò)誤呢。
