28、 So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected COVID-19 virus. Fortunately, thanks to modem technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who prefers to type out messages. you may want io reconsider. A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social relationships than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure relationships. In one, they asked 200 people what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked them to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a stronger relationship with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they did not feel more awkward,” said Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “communicate information exactly in the way they want without unexpected additions by the other person.”
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the pet effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible meanings behind words.”
【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Texting does harm lo social relationships.
B.Voice communication brings people closer.
C.A phone call does more good than a text message.
D.People prefer a text message rather than a phone call.
【2】How did the researchers carry out the study?
A.By comparing. B.By reasoning. C.By imagining. D.By discussing.
【3】What does the underlined word “anticipated” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Ensured. B.Refused. C.Expected. D.Disagreed.
【4】People prefer to text rather than call because they think .
A.texting makes them feel more connected
B.they feel awkward when making a phone call
C.texting helps communicate their information exactly
D.calling helps determine the true meaning behind the conversation
