twenty years ago fame acquired an exotic experience of Japanese managers.In the locker room the workers of some industrial enterprises have been established rubber doll heads such as punching bag, which allowed employees to beat bamboo sticks - ostensibly to defuse emotional tension and release the accumulated hostility to the bosses.
Since then, much time has passed, but the psychological effectiveness of this innovation is not reported.It seems that it is and remains a curious episode without serious consequences.Nevertheless it today cite numerous guidelines for emotional self-regulation, urging readers not so much "control himself" how much, on the contrary, do not hold back his emotions.

According to Brad Bushmena, professor of the University of Iowa, attempt to take out anger on inanimate object does not lead to mitigate stress, but just the opposite.In his experiment Bushmen deliberately teased his students abusive remarks during the performance of educational tasks.Some of them later were invited to vent anger on the punching bag.It turned out that the "soothing" procedure does not lead students in emotional balance - according to a psychophysiological examination, they turned out to be much more angry and aggressive attitude than those who "discharge" has not received.
professor concludes: "Any reasonable person, splashing so their anger, aware that the real source of irritation was invulnerable, and it annoys even more. In addition, if a person expects from the procedure, soothe, and it does not come, it isonly reinforces the disappointment. "
A psychologist George Bonanno of Columbia University decided to compare the stress level of students and their ability to control their emotions.He measured the stress levels of first-year students and asked them to go through an experiment in which they had to show different levels of expression of emotions - exaggerated, understated and normal.
Eighteen months later, Bonanno reassemble subjects and measured their stress levels.It was found that students who have the least stress, were the ones most students who in the course of the experiment successfully strengthened and repressed emotions on the pitch.In addition, as scientists have found, these students are better able to set up the state of the interlocutor.
