What does "reflects a psychological reality" mean? "showing your state such as being in anger or calmness"? It's kind of figurative hard to grasp the meaning.
ex)If the other person is in a rage or a panic, you need to be calm enough for both of you. Your calmness can be as infectious as their anger or fear. Take a deep breath or two until you calm down. The effectiveness of this simple technique of breathing consciously reflects a psychological reality. With anger, our heart rate and blood pressure usually increase, causing the blood to flow more rapidly from our brain to our extremities. This is not the best time to make decisions. By pausing, if only for a few seconds, and taking a few slow, deep breaths, we can begin to slow down our heart rate and relaxt our tensed muscles. We can then focus more effectively on what response will best advance our interests.
