To be honest, however, I doubt you'll get a very satisfying answer because while we can explain some of the neurological mechanisms involved in frustration stemming from high-value stimuli, we can't really tell you why people care so much about silly games in a meaningful, scientific way. | |
| Jun 30, 2014 at 17:24 | comment | added | HectorIP | Thank you very much for commenting. I want to understand the fact that people get so excited or so depressed about that events that have no real impact in their lives. Seeing people cry because his team lose is incredible and I think that this reactions are unconscious and must have a explanation on how that events affects out brains. | |
