Talking to oneself needs not be seen as a sign of lunacy or bizarre behavior anymore. Third-person monologue could become a useful strategy for emotional management according to a team of researchers in Michigan, USA. Apparently, people do a better job of controlling their emotions when they talk to themselves in the third person than talking in the first person. This was the first study to document this phenomenon. The research had financial support from the John Temple Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Researchers carried out two experiments in two distinct universities in Michigan.
