Psychologists calculated the formula of family happiness: if your choice is not smiling at the camera, the probability of failure in marriage with him increased fivefold.But if this formula is suitable for the Slavs?
American psychologists have come up with a simple way to predict how long it will be warm fire in the family hearth every specific unit of society - the album with photos.The smiles in the photographs - an indicator of the strength of the marital union.Staff at Indiana University, led by Dr Matthew Gertenshteynom conducted an experiment.Recruit volunteers, they asked them to consider photos of strangers smiling people and evaluate their intensity on a scale of smiles.The results, researchers compared the marital status of men and women depicted in the photographs.
was found people with the most "intense" smiles happy with their marriage and never broke terminate it, the brand "smile family man" has a one in ten.But those who are in the frame smiles, prone, as scientists have found, to family quarrels and divorce.The experiment clearly showed that a tight smile and a grim face in the photo in 25 percent of cases portends failure on the family front.
authors of a research project to check their findings, conducted additional research: they invited volunteers over 65 years and asked them to bring a baby picture and then ranked the smiles on the previous scheme.Of those whose fotoulybka awarded the highest assessment, divorced it gained only 11 percent.
But among the sullen, unsmiling people from childhood endured every third divorce.Psychologists calculated the formula for marital happiness, if your partner is not smiling at the camera, the probability of failure in marriage with him increased fivefold.
While the relationship between the style of smile and obvious strength of family ties, the researchers can not yet prove it."Perhaps the smile is the most stable feature of optimism and good nature - suggests Matthew Gertenshteyn.- Or just smiling, happy people are attracted to each other.And when they form a pair, then such a union is much less likely to fall apart. "
In addition, according to a psychologist, a smile on his face, indicating a cheerful disposition and friendly, provides a person close and friendly relations, and there is a wide range of communication both spouses for marriage is also important.There is another version that takes into account the fact that the experiment was based on the evaluation of the photos.Perhaps people obediently stretching his mouth into a smile in response to the photographer "Say" chi-and-e-s "is so accommodating and sensitive to the opinion of others that are best suited for the peaceful coexistence of the second half.
This research has contributed to the scientific concept, which is formed in the western psychology in recent years.American and British experts believe that human individuality is expressed and, accordingly, can be found in the simplest of emotional manifestations - such as a smile.
«The results of our experiment are consistent with a large number of psychological discoveries made over the last 5-10 years, confirming the incredible importance of positive emotions and life optimism in the fate of man - said the doctor Gertenshteyn in an interview with LiveScience.- Now we know what other conclusions can be made about a person in his children's photos to further learn how to speculate on the album, like a map. "
But Slavs prenuptial guessing the photos are not very suitable.Ethnopsychology long noted our unsmiling.Unlike other nations, the Slavs, considering the smile expression of friendliness, hardly accept it as a sign of courtesy on duty for the same reason, rarely smiling strangers and try not to do it just like that.The adage "laughter for no reason - sign fool", by the way, has no analogues in other languages.On the pictures, too, not all our compatriots stretched mouth "sy-s-yrnoy" smile, but that's no reason to put a man diagnosed with "unfit for family life."
