Writing down your reaction to a negative incident on a piece of paper and then throwing it away may help reduce anger, a study suggests.Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan found that shredding the paper may also help lessen feelings of frustration, which may help in workplace settings where expressing anger outwardly can have negative consequences.'We expected that our method would suppress anger to some extent,' lead researcher Nobuyuki Kawai said in a statement.
Each participant was given the same insulting feedback: 'I cannot believe an educated person would think like this. I hope this person learns something while at the university.'Afterwards, the participants were asked to write their thoughts on the feedback, focusing on what triggered their emotions.They were then split into two groups. The first group was told to either throw away the paper they wrote in the garbage or keep it in a file on their desk.
