O is proved, bad memories can literally wash off with water. A recent study showed that washing hair, washing, or even regular hand washing helps to get rid of negative emotions. "After washing hands, taking a shower or even just thinking about it, people can get rid of feelings of shame, bad emotions, and even doubts about the correctness of his choice , - says researcher Spike Lee (Spike Lee) from the University of Michigan. - The physical removal of dirt from the body creates the prerequisites for getting rid of the mental and the "garbage". "
"In fact, if you remember the good things, and then wash your hands, then it will reduce the pleasure of the positive memories and level of satisfaction from them "- says Lee. To test the hypothesis, the researchers asked a group of volunteers to assess their levels of depravity, and others in different circumstances. participants of the experiment was suggested to think about some immoral act, which they did in the past (from abortion to masturbation) and with the help of psychological tests assessed the degree of their guilt. At the same time some were tested in pure furnished room, and others - in a dirty and mess. Also, a series of tests where the subjects had the opportunity to wash their hands and the prospect of doing something good immediately after the experiment. Researchers found that those who were in a filthy room, others found it more immoral than they actually are. It was also found that those who used the sink and washed his hands, felt like a much less guilty about their past sins, than those who did not. At the same time, those who washed his hands and felt less guilty, and to a much lesser extent felt the need to do something good - because they have a sense of guilt was less pronounced, according to DailyMail.co.uk. However, despite the fact that they feel more pure, both physically and psychologically, it does not necessarily make them happier.
