快樂的人說話更吸引別人

        Happy people tend to talk more than unhappy people, but when they do, it tends to be less small talk and more substance.

　　 快樂的人比不快樂的人更易于說更多話，而且當(dāng)他們開口時，更多的是有實質(zhì)內(nèi)容的交談，而不是閑聊。

　　 A group of psychologists from the University of Arizona and Washington University in St. Louis set out to find whether happy and unhappy people differ in the types of conversations they tend to have. For their study, volunteers wore an unobtrusive recording device called the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) over four days. The device periodically records snippets of sounds as participants go about their lives.

　　 來自亞利桑那大學(xué)和華盛頓大學(xué)圣路易斯分校的一隊心理學(xué)家開始著手研究快樂的人和不快樂的人各自可能發(fā)生的談話種類是否會有所不同。研究中，志愿者在四天里都要戴上一件叫做電子激活錄音器（EAR）的不易被發(fā)現(xiàn)的錄音設(shè)備，它可以在被測者日常活動時定期錄下聲音片段。
