①We tend to think that friends and family members are our biggest sources of connection, laughter, and warmth. ②While that may well be true, researchers have also recently found that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost in mood and feelings of belonging that we didn't expect.
①In one series of studies, researchers instructed Chicago-area commuters using public transportation to strike up a conversation with someone near them. ②On average, participants who followed this instruction felt better than those who had been told to stand or sit in silence. ③The researchers also argued that when we shy away from casual interactions with strangers, it is often due to a misplaced anxiety that they might not want to talk to us. ④Much of the time, however, this belief is false. ⑤As it turns out, many people are actually perfectly willing to talk—and may even be flattered to receive your attention.
我们往往认为,朋友和家人是我们获得情感归属、欢乐和温暖的最主要来源。虽然这很有可能正确,但是,研究人员最近也发现,与陌生人交流实际上会给我们带来意想不到的好心情以及归属感。
在一系列的研究中,研究人员让芝加哥地区乘坐公共交通的通勤者与身旁的人搭讪。平均而言,遵照这一指示的参与者比那些被要求安静地站着或坐着的参与者感觉更好。研究人员还认为,我们之所以避而不与陌生人闲聊,通常是由于不必要的忧虑,担心他们可能不想和我们说话。但是,在大多数时候,这种想法是错误的。正如研究结果所示,许多人其实非常愿意交谈——甚至可能会因为受到你的关注而格外高兴。
