Текст для чтения:
Weather is associated with emotional problems
and disturbed behavior. It is not by itself a direct cause of
mental illness, but it can create an added stress on people on top of marital,
job and other problems.
Temperature is the most important factor. Heat is
clearly linked to mood disturbances. We find that heat is an important
factor in the increase of emotional problems.
Rainy weather leads to gloominess and depression. It’s
not too surprising that sunshine? Especially in the North, is associated
with positive mood states, especially during winter months. What’s more
interesting is the finding that people are more likely to help others and
behave in a prosocial way.
When people move from a cool climate to a warm,
subtropical one, they’re very uncomfortable at first.
But adaptation occurs rather quickly – with
about two weeks.
Certainly, elderly people tend to be more sensitive to
weather than younger people because their cardiovascular system is less
efficient. Body weight also makes a difference. Heavier people have more
difficulty coping with hot weather, while thin people have a harder time in
extreme cold.
People enjoy a slight change in temperature – but not
a drastic change where the temperature rises of falls more than 15 degrees. A
little bit of breeze, but not a strong wind, is also ideal. Obviously sunshine
makes people feel good – as long as there is not too much of it.
