Why Do We Like To Be Afraid?
Why Do We Like To Be Afraid? The Good Stuff
From horror movies to roller coasters, we like to be in situations that scare us. But isn't fear supposed to be an unpleasant experience? We talk with psychologist, David Zald, about what happens in our brain when we get scared and why we like it so much.
