One team of psychologists discovered that two thirds of men and a quarter of women would rather self-administer electric shocks than sit alone with their thoughts for 15 minutes.
Researching this phenomenon, another team asked volunteers to watch boring, sad, or neutral films, during which they could self-administer electric shocks.
When left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would happen.
