Many office workers may find that they have to struggle to go to work every Wednesday. In fact, this reaction is normal. Psychologists have found that Wednesday is usually the lowest day of the week. Why does this happen?
According to the traditional view, after the weekend rest and entertainment, the sudden work on Monday will make people feel depressed and depressed. However, according to the latest research of psychologists, Wednesday is in the middle of the working day of the week. The happiness of the previous weekend has gone, and the next weekend has not yet arrived. At this time, people's mood will fall to the lowest point of the week.
The research team led by Professor Charles Aryan, a psychologist at the University of Sydney, surveyed 550 people and asked them how they felt every day. Most people said that Monday was the worst mood, and they would gradually get excited as the weekend approached, with Friday and Saturday being the most excited.
However, the research team found that in fact, the mood of participants in the survey did not change much during the week. Monday was not as pessimistic as expected, and Friday and Saturday were not as excited as expected. Professor Charles Arwin said that the procedure of working days is always the same. At weekends, people can freely arrange their time, so they may feel happy.
"In fact, it is not necessarily that the mood will rise on weekends, because they often have to engage in other activities, which will consume a lot of energy, and the degree of tiredness is no less than that of work. However, thankfully, Friday always gives us some illusions."
