Repetition minskar stress
Hos Medical News Today kan man läsa om en nyligen publicerad forskningsrapport utförd vid Tel Aviv University som dragit slutsatsen att upprepningar (t.ex i form av repetativa uppdrag i tv-spel) ingjuter lugn och minskar stress hos en stor del av den mänskliga och animala populationen, orsakad av avsaknad av kontroll. Studien nämner inte gaming, men att livet är total kaos på alla fronter och att tv-spel kan hjälpa en att slappna av är ingen nyhet för en gamer - så jag väljer att se på forskningsrönen som ytterligare ett bevis på att gaming är till godo för mänskligheten.
Från Medical News Today:
"During the course of their study, Prof. Eilam and his fellow researchers watched and analyzed videotapes of people completing common tasks, such as putting on a shirt, locking a car, or making coffee, as well as basketball players completing a free-throw. In the case of basketball players, explains Prof. Eilam, all they actually need to do to complete their action is throw the ball. So why the preceding ritualistic behavior, such as bouncing the ball precisely six times?
"The routine they perform in the moments before shooting the ball is a method to focus their full concentration and control their actions." Prof. Eilam says. It's also an essential part of sports psychology. If players feel that completing their repetitive actions will enhance their performance, they tend to be more successful. This could include anything from locker room antics to LeBron James' infamous pre-game chalk toss."
Åh fan. Ingen direkt nyhet för den som någonsin har tävlat alternativt läst en bok om det psykologiska begreppet flow.
Allt leder till Zen - om man utför det på rätt sätt. Allt.
