　　Recent research suggests that if an argument gets resolved, the emotional response tied to it is significantly reduced or almost completely erased. Thus, it may be worth bringing up issues with your friends, family members, or classmates rather than holding them back.
　　There is a difference between arguing and fighting. Arguing is that you and your opponent present your concerns and discuss the feelings and issues related to those concerns. You can engage in an argument respectfully without stirring up(激起) anger. Fighting, however, usually involves personal attacks, raising of voices, and storming out.
　　
Discussing your issues and resolving them instead of stuffing them down can improve your emotional health. In a study, 2000 people were asked to record their feelings and experiences for eight days in a row. When people had an argument that they considered resolved, they had half the reactivity(情绪反应) of those who avoided an argument. Reactivity is an increase in negative emotions or a decrease in positive emotions. In other words, resolving an argument cuts your negative feelings by half. One day later, people who had a resolved argument reported no increase of
negative emotions compared with those who avoided an argument. This means that resolving an argument can feel like you have reached a state of resolution and you are less likely to be annoyed.
　　Moreover, the older you are, the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument. This may be because more life experience usually leads to more defined priorities. You are more likely to distinguish between what matters and what does not.
　　It is easier to avoid a discussion, but risking talking about it may eventually lead to a better outcome.
