A
We've all been there：in a lift, in line at the bank r n an airplane, surrunded by peple wh are, like us, deeply fcused n their smartphnes r, wrse, struggling with the uncmfrtable silence.
What's the prblem？It's pssible that we all have cmprmised cnversatinal intelligence. It's mre likely that nne f us start a cnversatin because it's awkward and challenging, r we think it's annying and unnecessary. But the next time yu find yurself amng strangers, cnsider that small talk is wrth the truble. Experts say it's an invaluable scial practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimprtant is easy, but we can't frget that deep relatinships wuldn't even exist if it weren't fr casual cnversatin. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) fr scial cmmunicatin, says Bernard Carducci, directr f the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Sutheast. “Almst every great lve stry and each big business deal begins with small talk，” he explains. “The key t successful small talk is learning hw t cnnect with thers, nt just cmmunicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, assciate prfessr f psychlgy at UBC, invited peple n their way int a cffee shp. One grup was asked t seek ut an interactin(互动) with its waiter；the ther, t speak nly when necessary. The results shwed that thse wh chatted with their server reprted significantly higher psitive feelings and a better cffee shp experience. “It's nt that talking t the waiter is better than talking t yur husband, ”says Dunn. “But interactins with peripheral(边缘的) members f ur scial netwrk matter fr ur well­being als.”
Dunn believes that peple wh reach ut t strangers feel a significantly greater sense f belnging, a bnd with thers. Carducci believes develping such a sense f belnging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis f gd manners, ”he says.
