Why silences may actually help your relationship
86% Informative
Researchers from the University of Reading wanted to explore how different kinds of silences can affect couples.
They asked participants to reflect on silent episodes they had experienced in relationships.
Some were assigned to write about a particular kind of silence based on what triggered it.
Others wrote about a silent episode from a bad relationship in their past.
Analysis revealed the reason for a silence was a major factor in how it affected their emotions.
Couples who saw their silence as anxious or hostile - possibly triggered by a disagreement - reported more negative emotions.
But intrinsic silences that felt comfortable were linked with positive emotions and higher ratings of the relationship.
