Chismear helps socialize

• April 24, 2024

Magazine Journal of Personality and Social Psychology He published that the act of telling gossip helps maintain social order.

Phrases like: did you know that so-and-so ..., I heard about ..., etc., are the beginning of unpleasant rumors, which in extreme cases generate psychological problems in the person of "who is spoken".

However, in a publication of CNN Mexico , it is said that much of what we call gossip, is driven by the desire to help others.

In a recent investigation of 53 people, the effect of the rumor that a person who was in the same place on the test was not trustworthy was studied. This information raised the heart rate of the participants, on the contrary when they warned others not to trust that person, it decreased.

Although gossip allows you to be more sociable, it can be harmful if you attack the weaknesses of people, so it is important to be careful with what is said.
