Are you a fan of scary movies? Here's what that could tell you about yourself.
traits and lower empathy preferred graphically violent scary films. Finally, more emotionally stable people got scared less easily.One of the most successful ways to produce fear is to use a loud noise after a long silence. It could be a scream, ringing of a phone, howling wind, the sound of a falling object, or breaking of glass.
Another method to induce horror involves using situations and objects that naturally make us more afraid. This kind of fear has an evolutionary adaptive basis. For example, the perceptual recognition of poisonous and dangerous creatures like snakes, spiders, predatory animals, and dark places does not even require one’s cortex! The reflexive recognition of these specific dangers is initially processed in the amygdala’s subcortical structure, which initiates an immediate emotion of fearfulness.
This learning process is known as sensitization, i.e., a repeated stimulus increases the strength of a response. For those more emotionally stable, watching scary movies may indeed reduce anxiety and psychological distress, a process known as habituation, where a repeated stimulus decreases the strength of a response. Nevertheless, people’s fascination with horror movies remains a paradoxical mystery, where in general, people seek pleasure and avoid pain.
