Negative thinking and the many feelings that can

accompany it, such as stress, and anger, can cause a
number of physical symptoms and increase your risk
of diseases and a shortened lifespan. Stress and other
negative emotions trigger several processes in our
bodies, including stress hormone release, metabolism,
and immune function. Long periods of stress increase
inflammation in your body, which has also been
implicated in a number or serious diseases.

STRESS INCLUDE:
 Headache

THE “LESS-IS-BETTER
EFFECT”

The less-is-better effect is a

type of preference reversal
that occurs when the lesser
or smaller alternative of a
proposition is preferred
when evaluated separately,
but not evaluated together.
OLYMPICS MEDALS
THE “LESS-IS-BETTER
EFFECT” IN OLYMPICS

In a experiment made in 1998, athletes

were found to be less happy after winning
a silver medal than they were after they
won bronze. This finding, and others,
demonstrated that people often held
preferences that were counterintuitive, or
seemed to respond more positively to
inferior options. However, the less-is-better
effect is thought to rely on different
mechanisms than other, similar effects, and
it stands out because of the fact that it
involves a preference reversal when options
are presented jointly instead of separately.
THIRD PLACE MENTALITY
THIRD PLACE MENTALITY
In major athletic competitions – such as the Olympic
Games – competitors seem to be happier when they
finish third than finish second. For bronze medalists,
however, two things would have had to have gone
differently for them to have won gold. The most salient
counterfactual for bronze medalists is probably the fact
that they could have easily finished in fourth place,
earning no Olympic medal at all. This logic suggests that
athletes might typically be happier with an inferior
outcome (a bronze medal) than with a superior one (a
silver medal).
