(2023·吉林高三模拟)According to Jim Coan,a psychologist from the University of
Virginia,holding hands with someone you trust can have a positive effect on your health.
Why?Researchers have shown in their studies that the simple act of touch can reduce stress
and even lower heart rate.
In a study,Jim and his colleagues brought couples into the lab,and then put one of them
in an fMRI machine to scan the activity in their brains.While scanning them,the
participants looked at a screen,and on a series of tests,they either saw a green circle or a red
"X".A green circle meant that the test would end shortly and nothing else would happen.A
red "X"meant that in a few seconds,there was a chance that they would receive a mild
electric shock on their leg.The shock wasn't painful,but it wasn't exactly comfortable either.
During some of these tests,participants were in the fMRI scanner alone;during others,a
researcher came in and held their hand;and on a final set of tests,their romantic partner
came in and held their hand.Jim and colleagues found that when participants thought they
might be getting a shock,they had a lower stress response in their brains when holding their
romantic partner's hand than in the other two conditions.And the happier the couples said
they were in their relationships,the more the romantic partner's hand lessened (the
brain's response to the shock.This study suggests that when we're stressed,holding a loved
one's hand can reduce that stress.
The research also suggests that touch has immediate and positive effects on babies.
Skin-to-skin contact can reduce crying,stress,and improve sleep.These effects can be
long-lasting:adults,held a lot when they were babies,are the most likely to be healthy and
well-adjusted-in fact,the more they were carried in babyhood,the better they adjust in
adulthood.
