Mid-term 期間溫書溫到懷疑人生🫩，大家考 MC 嗰陣係咪都有掙扎過要唔要改答案✏️，最後都係決定改⋯⋯點知派卷就發現改錯，勁後悔當初改咗😭！但其實心理學家話哩個可能只係我哋嘅錯覺，第一直覺未必係啱。一齊嚟睇下點解啦 👀✨！

（*想睇更詳細關於「反事實思維 (Counterfactual thinking)」嘅拆解，記得去翻我哋之前嘅 Posts了解更多呀～）

With everyone busy preparing for mid-term 🫩, have you ever struggled during an MC exam, wondered whether to change your answer ✏️, decided to switch it, then got your paper back and realized you changed it to the wrong one, and deeply regretted it 😭? But psychologists say this might just be an illusion — our first instinct isn’t necessarily correct. Let’s take a look at why 👀✨!

Midterms、Assignments 堆積如山，搞到個人壓力爆煲？🧠💥
放假想去「放空減壓」，除咗食飯行街，不如去藝術館行個圈！✨

倫敦國王學院最新研究發現（link in bio），親身欣賞藝術真跡，唔單止可以療癒心靈，更可能喺生理層面上即時降低壓力荷爾蒙同體內發炎指數，幫身心深度 Reboot！

（當然，呢個研究規模比較細，目前亦未經同儕評審，並唔代表藝術可以當成醫療方法。不過佢依然提醒咗我哋：靜落嚟、放慢腳步、專心欣賞同感受藝術，可能可以為我哋嘅身心健康帶嚟一點舒緩同支持！🖼️💛）

想了解藝術點樣影響我哋嘅身心？就要留意我哋今個禮拜個post啦！

Midterms and assignments getting your brain stressed to the max? 🧠💥
Looking to unwind and de-stress over the weekend? Beyond grabbing a bite or going shopping, why not wander around an art gallery! ✨

A new study from King’s College London （link in bio) shows that viewing original artwork in person doesn’t just heal the soul—it may also instantly lower stress hormones and physical inflammatory markers, giving your body and mind a deep reboot!

(Of course, this is a small, pre-print study that hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, so art isn’t a replacement for medical treatment. Still, it reminds us that slowing down to appreciate and feel art can bring real comfort and support to our well-being! 🖼️💛)

Want to learn how art can impact our body and mind? Check out our post this week!

我哋心理學系呢排專注研究孤獨感嘅林浩華教授又有新發現！今次佢將研究關注點放喺容易被忽視嘅領導者身上。

其實領導者好似「夾心階層」——向下要處理衝突同績效，向上要喺資訊不足時做決定，好多壓力同不確定性都講唔出口。加上社會對「好領導」嘅刻板印象，令佢哋更難表露無助同脆弱。

林教授嘅研究發現，適當嘅「自我披露」（分享內心想法同感受）可以幫助領導者減少孤獨感，建立互信。同時，領導者嘅孤獨感同情緒耗竭、專注力下降同睡眠問題都有密切關係。

組織其實需要多關照領導層嘅心理健康，提供保密支援，鼓勵健康溝通，唔好將領導神化。

有興趣了解更多？可以喺 bio 查看林教授嘅完整專題文章 👆

Prof. Hodar Lam at our Department of Psychology continues his research on loneliness — this time focusing on an often-overlooked group: leaders and managers.

Leaders frequently sit in a “sandwich” position — managing conflicts and performance below them, while making decisions under uncertainty above. Many pressures cannot be openly shared. Combined with the stereotype of the “strong leader,” this leaves them with few people they can truly confide in.

Prof. Lam’s research shows that appropriate self-disclosure (sharing thoughts and feelings) can reduce leaders’ loneliness and build trust. Leader loneliness is also linked to emotional exhaustion, reduced focus, and sleep problems.

Organisations need to support leaders’ mental health through confidential counselling, healthier communication cultures, and by allowing leaders to seek help without stigma.
