(1) TIRED, (2) BORED, WORRIED,

-And They Sell You Fear
•
》SYCHOLOGISTS attending the British Association meetings at Black- pool have been analysing the pleasure beach and have been trying to find out why people wish to be entertained,
In a paper in the Psychological Section on "The Desire for Enter- tainment," Mr. Denys W. iinrding, of London, told of the result of a questionnaire addressed to 200 workers attending adult educational classes.
The replies fell into three classes:
(1) Those who wished for entertainment because they were merely tired,
(2) Those who were bored, depressed, trritated, worried, or auf- fered from a condition described by them as being "all bottled up"; and
(3) Those who wanted entertainment because they were feeling cheerjul.
The second group was the biggest of the three.
Mr. Harding suggested that entertainment in general provides a relief from the tension of having to maintain activity only under the pressure of a remote Incentive, or the tension of having to maintain activity without nny Immediate return for the efforts expended.
FEAR AND ESCAPE
Mr. Frank Thomas, of Blackpool, contributed a paper on the psychology of mass entertainment.
The first thing that strikes one in the modern amusement park, he suid. is that the huge permanent structures exploit nimost with- out exception, the fear-escape propensity.
Such things as the "Big Dipper," the "Grand National," "Jack and Jill,” the "Bug," the "Whip" and the "Reel" have this in common.
Their most pbvious function is to place their patrons in a situation which, if it occurred in ♬ vehicle in ordinary life, would be fraught with extreme physical danger, but which, in this instance, offers also an in- fallible means of escape.
On any of these contrivances, you alt in a car over which you have no control--a car which behaves altern- ately in reasonable and in absolutely nightmare fashion, the reasonable phases enhancing, of course, the emo- tion of the other.
Whether you are being hurtled down on appalling precipice, or be- ing half flung from the car just when the climax of danger has been achtered, you find yourself once more. if only momentarily, safe.
CURIOSITY
Fear can be commercialised on the pleasure beuch in another way-a way, which seems to be linked with the exploration-curiosity propensity, and to take the form of the tear of the unknown combined with curlo- sity to elucidate it.
