According to foreign media reports, just as the cold virus may spread to others through contact, researchers at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and the University of California found that loneliness is also "contagious." They published a research report in the Journal of Human Personality and Social Psychology, saying that people who are lonely inside will bring loneliness to more people around them, and eventually lead a group to the "edge" of society.

Lonely "virus"

The report points out that loneliness can be spread through negative interpersonal relationships. Lonely people often don't trust others. In the words of John Kachopo, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, it is often "small questions."

A strange look or a heartless word of a friend may not be anything to a cheerful person, but it may be malicious to the person who is lonely inside. This can lead to communication barriers and ultimately to people losing friends.

The US "Fun Science" website quoted Ka Qiaobo as saying: "Some lonely people always suspect that others will make unfavorable actions for themselves and eventually find evidence. This is because their expectations are the same, on the other hand because they themselves first Provoke a conflict."

Studies have shown that reduced interactions can lead to loneliness spreading in the neighborhood. The change in the “friend circle” is more likely to cause loneliness than the change in the “family circle”. In addition, because women need emotional support more than men, they are also more likely to be “infected” by loneliness.

Survey tracking

Researchers tracked about 5,000 residents in the Framingham area of ​​Massachusetts, USA, and charted their dating history and feedback on loneliness.

The respondents fill out a questionnaire every 2 to 4 years to record their depression and loneliness, as well as provide medical and medical information. For example, the questionnaire asks respondents to answer questions such as “How long do you feel lonely in the past week” and offer four options: 0-1 days, 1-2 days, 3-4 days, 5-7 days.
