Those who wrote about the "perceived benefit" of the trauma were physically healthier and psychologically healthier, happier.
那些寫下從創傷中"看到的好處"的人身體和心理都更健康更幸福
Another research on cancer patients.
另一個研究的對象是癌癥患者
The women came in and wrote about their cancer.
那些參加研究的女性寫下她們的病情
And they wrote about "good things that came out of my experience with cancer".
她們還會寫"患上癌癥帶來的好事"
The women who wrote about this, visited the doctor office less often, were more likely to survive their cancer.
寫出這些的女人，看醫生的次數更少，戰勝癌癥的幾率也更高
Just by changing their perspective, by changing their focus. Now these women did not say "it happened for the best".
通過改變她們的觀念，改變她們的關注點。這些女人沒有說"患上癌癥最好了"
Maybe some did; but most did not. They said "I wish I didn't have this cancer".
也許有些人會這么說，但大部分不會。他們會說"但愿我沒有癌癥"
However it happened, you know. Stuff happens. The question is what we do with it; how we interpret it after.
"但我確實患上了。關鍵是我們怎么處理，怎么看待這個病"
Then they said to themselves "OK, so we get closer to our family; I'm appreciating life so much more now;
然后她們跟自己說："我們和家人更親近了"；"我現在更感激生活了"
I can enjoy the breath or flower, or I couldn't before my family so much closer now; I know who my real friends are".
"我可以享受一下花香了"，"現在我和家人樂也融融"；"現在我知道誰才是真正的朋友了"
And they found benefit in it. Not for the best.
她們從壞事中找出好事，而不是把壞事看到好事
But they made the best of the things that happened.
但她們會盡力從壞事中看到好的一面
And that made the difference even to their mortality rates.
這種心態甚至會影響到他們的壽命水平
There's a lot of research on optimism, benefit-finding and longevity.
有很多人研究樂觀，積極心態和長壽之間的聯系
For example, in a sample of 839 residents in the Mayo clinic, when they looked at them, they identified the benefit finders and fault finders.
例如，在Mayo診所那839位住院病人中，研究人員用他們作研究對象，他們區分開積極者和消極者
