說"謝謝"越多 朋友越多

       In one study, 137 college students completed a survey regarding how often they expressed gratitude to a friend or partner. Results showed that gratitude was positively linked with the person's perception of the "communal" strength.

　　在一項研究中，研究人員對137名大學(xué)生開展了一項關(guān)于他們對朋友或情侶表達感謝的頻率的調(diào)查。結(jié)果顯示，說“謝謝”能讓致謝人更進一步地看待相互間的關(guān)系。

　　In another study involving 218 college students, expressing gratitude found the expresser's perception of the relationship's strength over time was boosted.

　　在另一項對218名大學(xué)生開展的研究中，表達感謝讓致謝人感到雙方的關(guān)系更“鐵”了。

　　In the third study, 75 men and women were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Over a three-week period, one group expressed gratitude to a friend; another thought grateful thoughts about a friend, while a third thought about daily activities and a fourth had positive interactions with a friend.

　　在第三項研究中，研究人員將75名男性和女性隨機分為四個小組。在三個星期的時間內(nèi)，一個小組向朋友表達感謝，另一個小組對朋友心懷感激，第三個小組只考慮日常活動，第四個小組與朋友進行積極互動。
