“People perceive those who do good and evil to have more efficacy, more willpower, and less sensitivity to discomfort. By perceiving themselves as good or evil, people embody these perceptions, actually becoming more capable of physical endurance,” says researcher Kurt Gray, a doctoral student in psychology at Harvard.

哈佛大学心理学博士生Kurt Gray的一项研究发现,道德行为可能会增强人的毅力和身体耐力。

他将这种现象称之为道德的自证预言。Gray称,当人们认为自己在做好事或坏事时,他们会变得更有效力、更有毅力,对待不舒服的敏感性也会下降。通过感知善与恶,人们会拥抱此种感觉,实际上确能增强自己的忍耐力。Gray的发现与传统看法背道而驰,传统认为英雄品质是英雄们幸运拥有的较高意志力或较强自控能力,而不是凭借想象中的英雄事迹就能赋予个人更强的能力。
