Talking to yourself in the third person can make you wiser, new research shows (via aeonmag)
New research says that talking about yourself in the third person can actually make you wiser. In one study, participants were asked to keep a diary documenting situations they'd experienced that day. Half were prompted to write in first-person, while the other half wrote in third-person. Participants that wrote in third-person scored higher on a"wise-reasoning" test after the study. The third-person writers also had greater emotional regulation, and had found better ways to cope.
