Keeping a stiff upper lip during stressful situations appears to interfere with the ability to think clearly during the event and to recall the details afterwards.
Suppressing emotions is a common and often highly regarded habit of modern life. It's what we do to hide ourselves from others. But keeping a lid on emotions takes so much vigilance that it seriously drains brainpower, according to recent studies conducted at Stanford University.
Research suggests that people who can adjust and reappraise the situation as challenging, rather than threatening or uncomfortable, feel and perform better. It also helps to take on the demeanour of a more-disinterested party who wouldn't feel upset in the same situation.
