The Experience of Near Miss Relief

Kate and her team divided volunteers into two groups. The first group was told they would have to listen to the song and then sing it as a research assistant recorded the performance. Otherwards, they were asked to do something extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Volunteers who experienced completion relief felt uncomfortable be rand during their performance. But what's fascinating is that right afterwards, they moved on. Quickly with their day. This was something that kate and her team understood as yet another evolutionary adaptation.
