Understanding the Closeness-Communication Bias(亲近沟通偏差)
Most of us assume that we communicate better with our friends and family
members (1)we do with strangers.However,it is often the case that the closer
we are to somebody,the less likely we are to listen carefully to them.This
phenomenon is called closeness-communication bias,and it has been known (2)
(cause)serious damage to personal relationships.
The reason (3)
many people unconsciously "tune out"their family
members or close friends is that they think they already know what the other person is
going to say.It's similar to the way in which you might not notice signs,landmarks,
or scenery on a path you (4)(travel)down numerous times.
Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated closeness-communication bias in
experiments.In one such study,participants (5)
(group)with friends or
spouses,followed by being,grouped with complete strangers.Researchers then asked
the participants to interpret(6)their friends and spouses were saying to them.
In the majority of cases,although most participants assumed they would better
understand those they were close to,they actually understood them no better than
strangers.In some cases,they understood their close friends and spouses even (7)
(little).
Another study showed that people are more likely to share their most worrisome
troubles with people they were less close to rather than with their spouses or close
friends.When (8)
(open)up to strangers,people are able to avoid judgment
and prevent creating unnecessary conflict within their close relationships.
Unfortunately the closeness-communication bias is a reality that most people
live with (9)
they know it or not.Not only does this prevent people from
listening to those they love,but it also means their loved (10)
aren't listening
to them,either.
