Read the article Careful, any Spoilers on the Brain Itis ironic that in the age of information, when TV shows and movies are given so much hype, many of the viewers become obsessive about avoiding spoilers. It requires quite an adjustment: steering clear of social media, quickly closing web articles with revealing headlines, and removing yourself from the company of friends who are aware of plot developments. We dread spoilers in the assumption that our viewing experience will either be totally ruined or significantly diminished. That is why spoiler alerts are to be found all over the media - to ‘void inflicting the cruelty of sharing unwanted spoilers. However, it may be the case that our fears are unfounded and thus, such behavior is unwarranted. After all, ifnot knowing what's going to happen is vital for enjoyment, why do so many of Us watch our favorite movies time and time again? A tecent study into the effects of spoilers on people's enjoyment of stories certainly raised some eyebrows. It might also cause you to have less anxiety over plot details being inadvertently disclosed to you. The study, undertaken by psychologists, had undergraduate students read short stories written by well-known authors. Before reading each story, some of the students were first made to read a summary that appeared to give away the story's ending, Others read the same story without a preceding spoiler paragraph. Having read the stories, the students were asked to rate how much they enjoyed them. ‘The findings revealed that, on average, students found the stories that were preceded by a spoil slightly more enjoyable than the unspoiled stores Closer analysis revealed that the results stayed the same even for mystery stories and those that contained plots with surprising twists, which we would assume offer excitement and tension due to the reader being unaware of the outcome. One possible interpretation of these findings is related to the psychological concept of “fluency. The more familiar something is - whether it’s a story, a face, a picture - the easier it is for the brain to process and understand. Many psychological studies have shown that the more simple something is to process, the more likely it is to be enjoyed or admired by people. Therefore, fluency can increase your enjoyment of a story as it reduces the need to work out the plot or the emotions of a specific character. Most of us can relate to this when we consider music. On hearing a song for the first time, you might not be blown away. However, after the song has been heard frequently, you may discovet that your enjoyment increases and you could even find yourself singing along, This is because it becomes more familiar and your brain processes it more easily as you anticipate how it will unfold. Overall, the study suggests that obsessively Svoiding anything with the potential to let slp & Plot twist is probably uncalled-for and yout Enjoyment of a movie, TV show or book would likely Not be affected by it anyway.
