From the moment we hear our first ghost story around a campfire, many of us enjoy the thrill we get from the sensation of chills running down our spines.<\/p>\n

We love it when fear makes our hearts pound, our respiration increase, and we get goosebumps all over. The question is: Why?<\/p>\n

According to Philip Fizur, PsyD<\/a>, Clinical Health Psychologist at Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, there are a number of reasons.<\/p>\n

It feels good to be scared
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe classic explanation is that when we get scared, we experience an adrenaline rush in response to the brain’s signal that we are not safe,\u201d explains Dr. Fizur. \u201cIt’s part of the \u2018fight or flight\u2019 response we have when we sense danger. Adrenaline makes us faster and stronger and enables us to respond to a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

When we quickly realize we are safe, our bodies release endorphins, which produce a mild, natural high, and dopamine, a chemical linked to the brain’s reward center. The combination can result in a sense of euphoria. \u201cThat sense of relief is exhilarating and addictive,\u201d Dr. Fizur says.<\/p>\n

A more modern understanding of the fun of fear\u2014and its benefits\u2014comes from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. They suggest that people can reap positive emotional changes from what they call \u201cvoluntary arousing negative experiences<\/a>\u201d\u2014scary or negative events that we choose to participate in. Exposures like these can help us master a skill known as \u201cemotion regulation,\u201d which then helps us to cope with other stressful situations in the future.<\/p>\n

We know we are safe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The fears we experience when we watch scary movies, enter a “haunted” house, or strap ourselves into the seat of a roller coaster are calculated ones. We know that the terror we feel will end, or we can stop it. The wild ride will end. We can switch the channel during the scary movie when the stimulation becomes too intense.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople generally only enjoy fear when they feel like they have control of a situation and know it\u2019s going to be temporary,\u201d says Dr. Fizur.<\/p>\n

We like conquering fear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some people like to test themselves to see how much fear they can tolerate. Knowing that they can endure a barrage of anxiety, suspense, and terror fills them with a sense of self-satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe experience a sense of gratification by proving to ourselves that we can handle more anxiety than we think we can,\u201d Dr. Fizur says.<\/p>\n

Some people don’t like being scared<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s important to understand that not all people enjoy being scared. If the experience triggers an existing phobia, or if a person has an anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or PTSD, or otherwise has experienced a trauma that somehow resembles the frightening stimulus, they can have an adverse response.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the brain does not register the safe environment, the person will not experience the release of endorphin and dopamine that makes a controlled fright pleasurable,\u201d says Dr. Fizur. \u201cFor such people, their experience is pure fear, with all of its negative emotions and physical responses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being scared is different for kids<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cFun\u201d fright is also more complicated for children. Depending on their age, they may not yet understand the difference between reality and fantasy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a child doesn\u2019t understand that a scary situation is \u2018make believe,\u2019 their brain won\u2019t tell them that the situation is safe and they will become legitimately frightened,\u201d Dr. Fizur says. However, a little bit of scary stuff in the context of pretend play is a healthy and safe way for them to begin learning emotion regulation.<\/p>\n

Fear creates distraction from our day-to-day experiences. Placing ourselves in controlled frightening situations lends excitement to life\u2014if temporarily. It helps us to release strong emotions outside of our daily routine, providing stimulation that makes life more interesting.<\/p>\n

This Halloween, while you enjoy the haunted houses, scary movies, and hair-raising costumes and decor, just remember, there is a little bit of science behind every scream.<\/p>\n

Emociones y escalofr\u00edos: por qu\u00e9 nos gusta tener miedo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Desde el momento en que escuchamos nuestra primera historia de fantasmas alrededor de una fogata, muchos de nosotros estamos emocionados por la sensaci\u00f3n de escalofr\u00edos corriendo por nuestras espinas.<\/p>\n

Nos encanta cuando nuestro coraz\u00f3n late con fuerza, nuestra respiraci\u00f3n aumenta y se nos pone la piel de gallina. La pregunta es: \u00bfPor qu\u00e9?<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan Philip Fizur, PsyD<\/a>, psic\u00f3logo cl\u00ednico de salud de Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, hay varias razones.<\/p>\n

Se siente bien estar asustado<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“La explicaci\u00f3n cl\u00e1sica es que cuando nos asustamos, experimentamos una descarga de adrenalina en respuesta a la se\u00f1al del cerebro de que no estamos seguros”, explica el Dr. Fizur. \u201cEs parte de la respuesta de ‘lucha o huida’ que tenemos cuando sentimos un peligro. La adrenalina nos hace m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidos y fuertes, y nos permite responder a una amenaza “.<\/p>\n

Cuando nos damos cuenta r\u00e1pidamente de que estamos a salvo, nuestros cuerpos liberan endorfinas, que producen un subid\u00f3n natural suave, y dopamina, una sustancia qu\u00edmica vinculada al centro de recompensa del cerebro. La combinaci\u00f3n puede resultar en una sensaci\u00f3n de euforia. “Esa sensaci\u00f3n de alivio es estimulante y adictiva”, dice el Dr. Fizur.<\/p>\n

Una comprensi\u00f3n m\u00e1s moderna de la diversi\u00f3n del miedo, y sus beneficios, proviene de investigadores de la Universidad de Pittsburgh. Sugieren que las personas pueden cosechar cambios emocionales positivos a partir de lo que ellos llaman “experiencias negativas que despiertan voluntariamente<\/a>“: eventos negativos o aterradores en los que elegimos participar. Exposiciones como estas pueden ayudarnos a dominar una habilidad conocida como “regulaci\u00f3n de las emociones”, que luego ayuda nos enfrentamos a otras situaciones estresantes en el futuro.<\/p>\n

Sabemos que estamos a salvo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Los miedos que experimentamos cuando vemos pel\u00edculas de terror, entramos en una casa “embrujada” o nos atamos al asiento de una monta\u00f1a rusa son calculados. Sabemos que el terror que sentimos terminar\u00e1 o podemos detenerlo. El viaje salvaje terminar\u00e1. Podemos cambiar de canal durante la pel\u00edcula de terror si la estimulaci\u00f3n se vuelve demasiado intensa.<\/p>\n

“Las personas generalmente solo disfrutan del miedo cuando sienten que tienen el control de una situaci\u00f3n y saben que ser\u00e1 temporal”, dice el Dr. Fizur.<\/p>\n

Nos gusta conquistar el miedo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A algunas personas les gusta probarse a s\u00ed mismas para ver cu\u00e1nto miedo pueden tolerar. Si pueden soportar un aluvi\u00f3n de ansiedad, suspenso y terror, se llenan de una sensaci\u00f3n de autosatisfacci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperimentamos una sensaci\u00f3n de gratificaci\u00f3n al demostrarnos a nosotros mismos que podemos manejar m\u00e1s ansiedad de la que creemos\u201d, dice el Dr. Fizur.<\/p>\n

A algunas personas no les gusta tener miedo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Es importante comprender que no a todas las personas les gusta tener miedo. Si la experiencia se acerca demasiado a una fobia existente, o si una persona tiene un trastorno de ansiedad, trastorno del espectro autista, trastorno de estr\u00e9s postraum\u00e1tico o de otra manera ha experimentado un trauma que de alguna manera se asemeja al est\u00edmulo aterrador, puede tener una respuesta adversa.<\/p>\n

“Si el cerebro no registra el entorno seguro, una persona no experimentar\u00e1 la liberaci\u00f3n de endorfinas y dopamina que hacen que un susto controlado sea placentero”, dice el Dr. Fizur. “Para esas personas, su experiencia es puro miedo, con todas sus emociones negativas y respuestas f\u00edsicas”.<\/p>\n

Tener miedo es diferente para los ni\u00f1os<\/strong><\/h3>\n

El miedo \u201cdivertido\u201d tambi\u00e9n es m\u00e1s complicado para los ni\u00f1os. Dependiendo de su edad, es posible que a\u00fan no comprendan la diferencia entre la realidad y la fantas\u00eda.<\/p>\n

\u201cSi un ni\u00f1o no entiende que una situaci\u00f3n aterradora es ‘ficticia’, su cerebro no le dir\u00e1 que la situaci\u00f3n es segura y se asustar\u00e1 leg\u00edtimamente\u201d, dice el Dr. Fizur. Sin embargo, un poco de cosas aterradoras en el contexto del juego de simulaci\u00f3n es una forma saludable y segura para que comiencen a aprender a regular las emociones.<\/p>\n

El miedo crea una distracci\u00f3n de nuestras experiencias cotidianas. Colocarnos en situaciones aterradoras controladas puede hacer la vida m\u00e1s emocionante, aunque sea temporalmente. Nos ayuda a liberar emociones fuertes fuera de nuestra rutina diaria, proporcionando un est\u00edmulo que hace la vida m\u00e1s interesante.<\/p>\n

Este Halloween, mientras disfrutas de las casas encantadas, las pel\u00edculas de terror y los disfraces y las decoraciones espeluznantes, recuerda que hay un poco de ciencia detr\u00e1s de cada grito.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
