We tend to think that friends and family members are our biggest sources of connection, laughter and warmth. While that may well be true, researchers have also recently found that interacting with strangers actually brings a boost in mood and feelings of belong that we didn't expect.

In our series of studies, researchers instructed Chicago area commuters using public transportation to strike up a conversation with someone near them. On average, participants who followed the instruction felt better than those who had been told to stand or sit in silence. There searchers also argued that when we shy away from casual interaction with strangers, it is often due to a misplaced anxiety that they might not want to talk to us. Much of the time, however, this belief is false. As it turns out, many people are actually perfectly willing to talk- and may even be flattered to receive your attention.

【參考譯文】我們通常認為，朋友和家庭成員是我們交流、快樂和溫暖的最大源泉。這或許是對的。但是，最近研究人員也發現，與陌生人交流實際上可以改善情緒并找到出人意料的歸屬感。

在我們的一系列研究中，研究人員建議，芝加哥區域的通勤者可以在乘坐公共交通工具時與身邊的人交流。通常來說，那些聽從指示的乘客的感受遠比那些被告知獨自站立或靜坐的人感受要好得多。我們在日常生活中之所以羞于與陌生人交流，是因為不合時宜的焦慮感一-- 他們或許不愿意和我們交流。然而，大多數時候，這個想法是不對的。正如實驗結果所示:很多人實際上非常樂意交流一一甚至有可能因你的關注而感到高興。
