Ukuzizwa Uluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka Kungenza Umhlaba Wakho Uphenduke Mpunga

Sivame ukusebenzisa umbala ukuchaza indlela esizizwa ngayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi 'sizizwa siluhlaza,' 'sibona okubomvu,' noma 'siluhlaza ngomona.' Kepha ucwaningo olusha lukhombisa ukuthi lokhu kuhlanganiswa kwezilimi kungahle kungabi ngaphezu kwesifaniso nje: Imizwa yethu ingathinta empeleni ukubona kwethu imibala. (PS Thola Ukuthi Umbala Weso Lakho Uthini Ngokuthi Uzizwa Kanjani Ubuhlungu.)

Ocwaningweni olushicilelwe ku Isayensi Yezengqondo, Abafundi be-undergraduate abangu-127 babelwa ngokungahleliwe ukuthi babuke isiqeshana sefilimu esishukumisayo-kungaba inqubo yamahlaya yokuma noma 'isimo esibuhlungu kakhulu' esivela INgonyama Inkosi. (Ngokuzimisela, kungani amabhayisikobho eDisney ecekela phansi kangaka? , ophuzi, oluhlaza, noma oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Abaphenyi bathola ukuthi lapho abantu benziwa bazizwe bedabukile, babenganembi kangako ekukhombiseni imibala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nephuzi kunaleyo eholele ekuzizweni behlekisiwe noma bengathathi hlangothi ngokomzwelo. (Yebo yebo, labo 'abazizwa beluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka' empeleni babene- isikhathi esinzima bebona okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.) Abakhombisanga mehluko ngokunemba kwemibala ebomvu noluhlaza okotshani.

Ngakho-ke kungani umzwelo uthinta okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokuphuzi ngqo? Ukubona kombala womuntu kungachazwa ngokuyisisekelo njengokusebenzisa izimbazo zombala-obomvu-oluhlaza, oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-ophuzi, nomnyama-omhlophe-ukudala yonke imibala esiyibonayo, kusho umlobi ophambili wocwaningo uChristopher Thorstenson. Abaphenyi baqaphela ukuthi umsebenzi wangaphambilini uxhume ngqo umbono wombala ku-eksisi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nophuzi ne-neurotransmitter dopamine-the 'feel-good brain chemical'-okubandakanyeka kumbono, ukulawulwa kwemizwelo, kanye nokuphazamiseka kwemizwa ethile.

UThorstenson uphinde achaze ukuthi yize lokhu bekungukungeniswa kokudabuka okuncane 'futhi abacwaningi bengalinganisanga ngqo ukuthi lo mphumela uthathe isikhathi esingakanani, "kungenzeka ukuthi ukudabuka okungapheli kungaba nomphumela ohlala isikhathi eside." Yize lokhu kungukucabanga nje, ucwaningo lwangaphambilini lukhombisile ukuthi ukucindezelwa kunethonya impela embonweni, kusikisela ukuthi imiphumela etholakala lapha ingadlulela kubantu abanokudangala-okuthile ososayensi okwamanje abanesifiso sokuphenya. (I-FYI: Le yi-Brain On yakho: Ukudangala.)

Ngenkathi izifundo zokulandelela zidingeka ukusebenzisa okutholakele, okwamanje, ukwazi ukuthi imizwa nemizwelo ithonya indlela esibona ngayo umhlaba osizungezile kuyinto enhle kakhulu. Alikho igama okwamanje mayelana nokunemba kwalezo zindandatho zemizwa owanyakazisa ngazo osukwini.
