In the new study, the team conducted a meta-analysis of 170 studies, representing 4,670 participants from 29 countries. They included college #students, amateur #athletes, #engineers, #teachers, and those who work in a #military or #healthcare setting.

The team found that across all populations, the more mental effort a task required, the more study participants reported unpleasant feelings.

Thinking is work and requires effort. Getting people to understand that smart people are smart because they work at it is such a difficult concept to get across to people.
