The Chronicle of Higher Education, of all places, dropping the true science today:
People who indicated strong negative feelings about their ex in the immediate aftermath of the breakup were less likely to be depressed. The subjects were re-tested a month later, and those whose feelings had grown more negative also generally felt better….
I think this falls neatly into the category of “Things We Kind of Already Knew But It’s Nice that Science Has Confirmed Them.”
Yep.

I wonder if this finding could be generalized to one’s feelings about one’s employer.
