[size=45][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Recent research conducted on students in the United States and Kenya revealed that some people become more angry or violent when exposed to hot weather.[/size]
[size=45]Previous studies have shown that violent crimes such as murder, aggravated assault, rape, terrorist attacks and mass shootings are more likely when temperatures rise.[/size]
[size=45]The recent experiment was conducted on two thousand students in California and Kenya, where groups were placed in a hot room, and the other in a room with a moderate temperature to play video games.[/size]
[size=45]The experiment found that those who played video games in a hot room, in certain conditions, were more harsh towards their gaming partners than those who were in a room with a temperate atmosphere.[/size]
[size=45]In the game, players earn points that can be redeemed for real gift cards. But points can also be withdrawn at random by the computer, or by a partner who plays anonymously.[/size]
[size=45]The research found that Kenyan players in the hot room were always more willing to hurt other players by working to not win the game.[/size]
[size=45]But study co-author Ian Bolliger, a graduate fellow in the UCLA Energy Group, says, "Temperature in and of itself may not be a direct cause of aggression, but it's in fact a multiplier," noting that events outside the hot room in Kenya, It also affected the behavior of the students.[/size]
[size=45]The experiment was conducted at the end of September 2017 and continued until the beginning of 2018. Kenya had just held a controversial election, in which the losing candidate accused the other party of stealing the election.[/size]
[size=45]The study found that video game players who support the losing candidate feel aggrieved.[/size]
[size=45]"It was that group that showed all this aggressive behavior, whereas in California, with the other ethnic group, we didn't see an increase in aggressive behavior, even in the hot room," Bolliger said. "So if you really feel aggrieved for some reason, being in an environment Tense may allow those feelings to surface.”[/size]
[size=45]Another study, conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research in the United States in 2021, in a prison in Mississippi, found an 18 percent increase in the likelihood of violence among inmates on hot days.[/size]
[size=45]Curtis Craig, a researcher in the “Human First” laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, tracked temperatures and the number of violations in the NFL matches, in a study conducted in 2016, where he said: “The hotter the weather, the greater the number of violations committed.” The players.”[/size]
[size=45]Usually, the home team gets the most penalties, so just as it was during the modern video game experience, Craig believes that while the heat was a factor, the conditions during the match were also important.[/size]
[size=45]"In this case, perhaps the players felt more support from the fans, which allowed them to succumb to aggressive feelings," he said.[/size]
[size=45]He added, "High temperatures lead to discomfort, which increases negative feelings, especially if the person already has another negative influence."[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that Iraq had occupied the top of the most angry peoples in the latest report of the international research company, Gallup, and published the results of its study for the year 2022, on global emotions, which specializes in measuring emotions, including levels of anger, in more than 100 countries around the world.[/size]
[size=45]According to the report; Lebanon and Iraq occupied the first ranks in the list of the most angry peoples.[/size]
[size=45]In the results of the survey, Lebanon ranked first in the Negative Emotions Survey, which ranks the most angry countries in the world, while Turkey followed in second place, then Armenia in third place, and Iraq in fourth place.[/size]
[size=45]Lebanon and Iraq retain their positions in the list of the most angry people in the world. In its study conducted last year, the report revealed that Iraq came at the forefront of the people feeling the most sadness and tension. As about 51% of those polled said that they feel all of these five sensations in their country.[/size]
[size=45]The reasons why Iraqis feel these feelings are due to several reasons, including the political and economic crises that the country is going through, the spread of assassinations, in addition to poverty.[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that since the beginning of the summer of 2023, Iraq has recorded record temperatures, as heat waves continued for days, with a temperature rate exceeding 50 °C.[/size]
