Get Ready for Excitement - TV Spoilers and Upcoming Stories

A feeling of anticipation and eagerness. Often used to express excitement for an upcoming event, activity, or project.

Some TV shows have plot twists so shocking that knowing about Udaariyaan Written Update them ahead of time would ruin the experience. Other shows have jaw-dropping death scenes that are some of the most acclaimed moments in television history.
What’s the Big Deal?

If you’re one of those people who hate spoilers and go to extreme lengths to avoid them — skipping movie trailers, not reading the back of a book jacket so you enter a story knowing nothing, staying off social media so you don’t see a “SPOILER ALERT” before watching a show or movie — it might be time to reconsider your approach. UC San Diego psychology professor Nicholas Christenfeld has conducted a series of experiments that prove, surprisingly, that knowing what’s going to happen in a TV show, movie or video game actually enhances enjoyment.

It’s long been held that spoilers ruin a story, preventing people from experiencing the excitement of suspense, surprise and a satisfying resolution. In fact, big studios often impose strict rules on critics to keep them from discussing the ending of a film until the date it opens, assuming that revealing the plot would stop people from seeing it. But is that really true?

As it turns out, a person’s reaction to a spoiler depends on their personality and the way they process information and emotion. In a recent study published in the journal "Psychology of Popular Media Culture," Christenfeld and co-author Benjamin Johnson found that spoiled stories don’t spoil as much as you might think. In the experiment, they asked people to read two short stories and respond to them — one of which had its key plot point spoiled for them beforehand. Christenfeld and Johnson found that while some people do find spoiled stories less enjoyable, most enjoy them as much or more than unspoiled ones.

What they found is that people with a higher need for cognition (how they process information and use their brains) tend to prefer unspoiled stories, while those with a high need for affect (how they feel when they watch or read a story) prefer spoiled ones. So the next time someone ruins a TV episode of your favorite show by telling you who got killed off in that shockingly shocking scene from Game of Thrones, don’t be mad at them. They might be helping you get more enjoyment out of the show.
