„Wie sich Kriegsnachrichten auf Ihre psychische Gesundheit auswirken können“. Auch die Fähigkeit der Menschen, ihre Emotionen zu regulieren, kann eine Rolle spielen, da es viele Berichterstattungen gibt, oft gewalttätiger Natur und mit anschaulichen Bildern der Zerstörung. Der Krieg wird in den Medien lebendig und vermittelt das Gefühl, er stünde direkt vor unserer Haustür.

Wait until you find out how much actual war can affect your mental health!
I stopped watching / reading most news years ago. Scan the headlines and move on.
Our country could be perfect place to study it, we aren’t even remotely close to getting to any conflict, yet our media (political leaders) is went full on with war propaganda. (Hungary)
I’m sure the people whose actual doorsteps are being bombed might say it doesn’t feel exactly the same.
As psychology goes; War is far away is a great line as opium to public too. We should hate and get angry to all warmongers regardless of our distance to front. Others’ war means some other people are dying, humans react it correct according to research.
Reminds me of writer Suzanne Collins saying she was inspired to write The Hunger Games after channel surfing between the 24 hour Iraq news cycle and reality shows about hot 20-somethings hooking up
Interesting.
I mostly only feel curiosity when I see these things and wonder where it will lead, but it doesn’t strike any emotional chords for me. As a result I struggle to understand what this is like for people generally, and tend to suspect that they’re just being performative rather than having these sorts of feelings.
I follow what’s going on currently and plenty of historical wars, tactics etc. and just find it intriguing more than anything else. It’s never upset me or made me feel anxious. I saw those emotional reactions as extreme and strange, but guess not, more normal than I realized.
