Most Americans would probably be thrilled to learn extraterrestrials(外星生物) exist. Other nationalities beg to differ.

When Oumuamua, a mysterious interstellar object, swept through our solar system last October, it elicited breathless news stories all asking the obvious question: Is it a spaceship? There were no signs it was. although many people seemed to hope otherwise.

Throughout history most strange new cosmic (宇宙的) phenomena have made us wonder: Could this be the moment we first face alien life? The expectation isn’t necessarily strange—many scientist can and do make specific, evidence-based arguments that we will eventually discover life beyond the bounds of our planet. To true believers, what may be more uncertain is whether or not such news would cause global panic, which depends on how our minds, so greatly influenced by our earthly environment and society, would realize the potential threat of something absolutely outside our familiar environment.

"There's this feeling the public that the discovery of intelligent life at least would be kept secret by the government because otherwise everybody would just go bonkers,” says Seth Shostak, an astronomer at the Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, who was not involved with the study. Perhaps it might make sense for our brains to freak out (抓狂) over immensely powerful alien beings arriving on our cosmic doorstep from parts unknown.

But let's say the situation hasn't gone full "alien invasion" yet and dangerous warships aren't sailing toward Earth, but rather we have read news of extraterrestrial life. How might we react then? Psychologists at Arizona State University (ASU) used language-analyzing software to gauge feelings relate to 15 news articles about past discoveries about extraterrestrial life, such as newfound earth-like planets, mysterious phenomena and possible life found on Mars. The articles used more positive and reward-oriented words than negative and risk-oriented ones, which is reported in a study published in January in Frontiers in Psychology.

"I think we're generally sort of partial to novelty, unless we have strong reason to suspect it could harm us, "says Michael Varnum, a psychologist at A.S.U. Tempe and the study's senior author. "Of course, I'm not saying if we got news that there were a bunch of large alien warships on their way towards Earth that we would be happy about it."
