Psychological impression with widespread violent videos
With the development of social networks today, with just a few steps, we can post anything quickly.
Therefore, controlling information sources and posted content is becoming increasingly difficult. Every social media user can easily come across violent, inciting videos, etc., which are widely shared.
Ms. Nguyen Thanh Tra (23 years old, Hanoi) said that just because she was curious about the violent videos that were widely shared on social networks, she decided to search and open them.
At first, I just wanted to find out why those videos were so widely spread, but when I clicked to watch them, I was really scared, even lost sleep all night. I don't understand why humans can do such brutal acts," Ms. Tra shared.
Mr. Hoang Van Thai (30 years old, Phu Tho) also expressed his concern when his children were exposed to social networks too early.
"I often browse social networks in my free time, and occasionally there are videos of fights, then there is a lot of blood and haunting. I don't know how the children will feel if they watch those videos,' said Mr. Hoang Van Thai.
Psychological consequences are weighing on the community
Explaining why a violent video can also make viewers feel haunted and anxious for a long time, Ms. Nguyen Hoang Anh - Voice of Therapist Psychological Office - said that violent videos directly exploit strong emotions such as: fear, pain, or anger.
''Studyes show that the human brain (almonds) remember strong emotional experiences very well, especially those related to situations of aggression, threat or danger, '... Therefore, violent situations can immediately fall back in human memory, causing obsession and anxiety' '' '' Ms. Nguyen Hoang Anh said.
Psychologist Nguyen Hoang Anh said that groups of children and adolescents, people with low psychological resistance, people who are too sensitive, people who have experienced mental trauma, ... are the groups of subjects most vulnerable to psychological impact.
" adults' early exposure to shocking content can also cause children to gradually form a distorted awareness of the world when they tend to believe that the world is more dangerous than reality"", the expert commented.
'First of all, manage your curiosity by turning off uncomfortable videos immediately, avoiding clicking on sensitive content that can easily trigger negative emotions. When feeling stressed, viewers can practice emotional calmation techniques such as deep breathing in a 4 - 7 - 8 rhythm, meditation or light exercise to help the body secrete hormones that help reduce stress'', the expert added.
