Ibhadi uma ikati elimnyama liwela indlela yakho. Inkolelo-ze endala engahlangene neqiniso? Uyadlala? Ingabe uzimisele uma usho njalo? Ngisho nanamuhla, abantu abaningi banobandlululo olusekelwe ekubukeni kwangaphandle futhi bahlobanisa umbala woboya besilwane onezici ezithile. Lokhu kwaba umphumela wocwaningo lwesayensi olwenziwa e-Psychological Institute yaseYunivesithi yaseCalifornia, eU.SA.
Abacwaningi bacele abantu abangu-189 ukuthi balinganisele uhlobo lwamakati amahlanu ocwaningweni olungaziwa oluku-inthanethi. Abahlanganyeli babheke izithombe zamakati anemibala yejazi ehlukene futhi bacelwa ukuba babanikeze izici ezithile: ezolile, ezinobungane, ezibekezelayo, ezikhuthele, ezithambile, ezinamahloni, ezikude, ezinovalo, ezinenkani, nezingenasineke.
Umphumela: ababambiqhaza balinganise amakati ngendlela efanayo. Iningi labaphendulile belilindele ukuthi ikati elibomvu libe nomlingiswa onobungane. Isilwane esinemibala emibili kwakucatshangwa ukuthi asinasineke. Iningi labahlanganyeli ocwaningweni lalibheka isilwane esinemibala emithathu nemhlophe njengesiqhelelane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikati elimhlophe lahlulelwa ukuthi lizinzile futhi lizolile kunamanye.
Ososayensi babone lokhu njengenkomba yokuthi abantu basengathonywa ukubukeka kwangaphandle kwesilwane. Kodwa akekho owavuma ukuthi: “Abahlanganyeli bocwaningo babonisa ukuthi bazonaka kakhulu ubuntu kunombala wejazi lapho bekhetha ikati,” kusho isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo nomqondisi wocwaningo uMikel M. Delgado. "Sibona imiphumela yocwaningo njengenkomba yokuthi umbala uthonya umbono womlingiswa." Yiqiniso, ikati ngalinye lingumuntu oyedwa, kunezela umcwaningi.
