A study conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom has sparked debate online, as it suggests that frequent use of dirty words may be linked to several psychological and physical benefits in individuals.
According to research conducted by experts at Keele University, people who swear frequently may experience an increase in self-confidence and cope better with stressful situations. The researchers explain that using swear words can put the brain into a more spontaneous state, where the individual "does not hold back" and stops overthinking, acting more freely and with more energy.
In this way, loose verbal behavior can influence how people react to challenges, making them quicker in decision-making and less blocked by excessive anxiety or excessive self-control.
Also, previous studies by the same researchers have shown that participants who used dirty words during physical experiments were able to withstand pain for longer, such as holding their hands in ice water or performing more intense physical exercise.
According to researchers, the effect of swearing may also be related to its role as a "distractor" of pain, reducing its subjective sensation and increasing physical tolerance in difficult moments.
However, experts emphasize that this does not mean that excessive use of harsh language is always beneficial in social life, but that in certain situations it can have positive effects on performance and emotional response.
In conclusion, the study has opened an interesting debate on how language and emotions influence human behavior, suggesting that even habits considered "negative" may have their unexpected positive sides.
