10、el bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Dr. Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the topic of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations. They found that the commonly-held

11、 belief that being positive in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for reconsideration. This is partly due to this belief failing to take into account the differences in working environment which affect outcomes.For instance, an

12、ger does not always lead to negative outcomes and in some cases, anger can be considered a force for good through acting upon injustices. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker unfairly. In such cases, anger can be useful. Likewise, b

13、eing too positive in the workplace, rather than resulting in greater performance and productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and being too shallow in ones personality.One article within the issue also finds that, within team work situation, negativity can have a good effect, leading to fewer con

14、sensuses (共识) but a further discussion or debate on an important issue among workers, which enhances team effectiveness.Lindebaum said, “The findings of the study published in this Special Issue challenge the commonly-held belief that in the workplace positive emotions bring about a positive outcome

People Challenging the Commonly-held Belief3Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive

20、 to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phase “mindless eating”(and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them

21、.His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no

22、bread, no nuts not even breakfast cereal. In Wansinks research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible - anywhere in their kitchen weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didnt.”Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour a

23、nd not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine when

24、ever we pour a glass.”Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when they sat in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently th

25、e idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed (比重要) the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didnt. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those

26、on lower shelves.The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you wont have to think about it: Youll just eat less.1. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless eating Solutions for Everyday Life?A. Because he wanted people to beco

27、me thin.B. Because he wished to change the design of dining places only.C. Because he hoped to coin a new phase “mindless eating”.D.
