1 In 2014, one in 16 Americans visited the emergency room for home injuries that resulted from knives, ladders, and cookware, etc. what is the main causes of these accidents? A wandering mind. By one estimate, people daydream through nearly half their waking hours.
2 Psychologists have recently focused on the tendency to think about something other than the task at hand. In one experiment, two Harvard researchers developed an Iphone app to analyze the relationship between daydreaming and happiness. They found people’s minds tended to wander more when they felt upset rather than happy. Drinking alcohol and daydreaming also seem to go hand in hand. And the younger we are, the more likely we may be to let our mind wander. People aged 18 to 25 report significantly more task-unrelated thoughts than those aged 60 to 85.
3 How do daydreams affect daydreamers? Just as a wandering mind makes us accident-prone at home, it leaves us more likely to be attacked in traffic accidents. In an unusual study, French researchers visited an emergency room to interview 955 patients involved in traffic accidents. The majority of them reported having daydreamed just before the crash, more than 10 percent considered the daydream’s content “highly distracting”. And many studies have shown that mind-wandering interrupts with mental functions such as reading comprehension and memory keeping.
4 Yet other research suggests that daydreaming has benefits. For one, much mind-wandering is future-oriented, and researchers have found that it gives us a chance to think about our goals. It also seems to improve creativity. In one experiment,145 undergraduates completed four “unusual uses” tasks, each requiring them to list as many uses as possible for an everyday object. After the first pair of tasks was completed, one group of subjects was assigned an undemanding activity intended to elicit mind-wandering. When the subjects proceeded to the second pair of tasks, the daydreamers performed 40 percent better that the non-dreamers.
要点1: People’s frequent daydreaming has caused many injuries in America.
要点2: Studies show that unhappy feelings and alcohol drinking will greatly increase the possibility of daydreaming. Besides, young people’s minds tend to wander more.
要点3: A wandering mind will distract people and thus increase the risk of injuries at home as well as car accidents.
要点4: However, people still benefit from daydreaming for it allows them to think about goals and promote their creativity.
