人与社会人际交往「2026浙江嘉兴期末」
Last Friday, I took a crowded subway to work, feeling a little low. As the doors closed, a cheerful voice came from the train speaker (扬声器), “Good morning. Welcome to this train! Wish you a happy journey!” It was such a lovely voice that I looked up and caught the eye of another passenger.
I smiled, and the woman smiled back. Then we did something that people hardly do on a crowded subway—we started talking.
“Oh, I love this voice!” said my eye-contact (眼神交流) friend.
“Cheerful and warm!” I replied.
When I got off the train, I felt lighter. And the good feeling stayed with me all day.
What happened? Could the cheerful voice and the short talk with a stranger have changed my feelings? “Yes,” said researchers. In their research, Gillian Sandstrom and Elizabeth Dunn suggested that talking to people you don’t know well—people with “weak ties (联系)” —can make you happier.
To test this idea, they asked students to count how many times they talked with classmates in person. The students who had more face-to-face conversations—even small ones with people they never knew—said they felt happier.
Next, Sandstrom and Dunn asked students to write down all their social talks for three days. They used two notebooks: one for “strong-tie” talks and one for “weak-tie” talks. The results showed that people who had more “weak-tie” talks felt happier than others.
So, just say hello to the policeman on the corner, the kid with the cute dog, or the new neighbor. It might make you feel better than you expect.
