抱怨是发泄消极情绪、维持心理健康的一种手段。然而多数老人并不会抱怨,而只是一些琐碎的、毫无意义的唠叨,这样不仅不能解决问题,还可能激化矛盾,影响身心健康。调查表明,会抱怨的老人,能有效宣泄自己的不良情绪,使自己保持更平和的心态,从而不容易患上躯体疾病和心理疾病,生活满意度和幸福感更强,更容易长寿。 Complaining is a means of venting negative emotions and maintaining mental health. However, most elderly people do not complain, but just trivial and pointless nagging. This will not only solve the problem but also intensify the contradictions and affect their physical and mental health. The survey shows that the elderly who complain can effectively release their bad feelings and maintain a more peaceful attitude so that they are less likely to suffer from somatic and psychological diseases. Their life satisfaction and happiness are stronger and they are more likely to live longer.
