A study involving more than 2,500 participants has examined the impact of keeping various types of secrets.
Keeping good news a secret from someone could make people feel more 'energized' and alive, a study has revealed.People often want to share good news as soon as they learn of it. But the latest research, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, suggests that holding onto it for a period may come with some benefits.
The researchers found that, on average, participants had 14 to 15 pieces of good news. Of these, an average of five to six were kept secret.The participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than those who thought about their good news that was not a secret. The participants who said they intended to share their news with others also reported feeling more energized, regardless of whether or not it had been kept secret.
