【正文】 lieve is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you39。re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.　　In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students39。 selfesteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, I am lovable.　　Those with low selfesteem didn39。t feel better after the forced selfaffirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren39。t urged to think positive thoughts.　　The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治療) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (靜思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.　　注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2 上作答。　62.
