Psychiatry Research Aug 22, 2017
Palgi Y, et al. – Researchers desired to know whether participants with low somatization who are assumed to identify with– and be inspired– by the Olympic–Games–spirit will present a stronger relationship between their Olympic–game viewing hours and their will–to–live, than persons with high somatization. They found that while among those with low somatization symptoms level, the relationships between Olympic game viewing hours and will–to–live was positive, the opposite was found among those with high somatization symptoms level. They suggested that viewing the Olympic Games might be helpful for individuals with low somatization level but less so to individuals with higher somatization.
