In the summer of 2008, my friends and I went to Los Angeles to attend a friend's graduation ceremony. After staying in the same house for more than ten days, we acted, and talked each other. I remembered one of my favourite questions at that time was "really?", soon it became everyone's favourite question too.
It was a happy summer.
According to new research from psychologists at The University of Texas at Austin, mimicking other's language style shows a happy relationship. A psychology professor and a psychology graduate student teamed up to find out how people's language styles could affect each other, and how the language styles tell us about the relationship between two people. The happier the two people are in their relationship, the closer their language styles are. The researchers are now trying to analyse whether language style matching can be used to predict the beginning and end of romantic relationships.
Do you think a relationship stage can be truly revealed through analysing the language styles of the two people?
