Happy People Talk More, and With More Substance

 

LiveScience.com – Thu Mar 4, 3:31 pm ET

Happy people tend to talk more than unhappy people, but when they do, it tends to be less small talk and more substance, a new study finds.

 

A group of psychologists from the University of Arizona and Washington University in St. Louis set out to find whether happy and unhappy people differ in the types of conversations they tend to have.

 

For their study, volunteers wore an unobtrusive recording device called the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) over four days. The device periodically records snippets of sounds as participants go about their lives.

 

For this experiment, the EAR sampled 30 seconds of sounds every 12.5 minutes yielding a total of more than 20,000 recordings.

 

Researchers then listened to the recordings and identified the conversations as trivial small talk or substantive discussions. In addition, the volunteers completed personality and well-being assessments.

 

Here's what the researchers found:

• The happiest participants spent 25 percent less time alone and 70 percent more time talking than the unhappiest participants.
• The happiest participants also had twice as many substantive conversations and one-third as much small talk as the unhappiest participants. 

 

The findings, to be detailed in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science, suggest that happy lives are social and conversationally deep, rather than solitary and superficial.

 

The researchers think that deep conversations may have the potential to make people happier, though the findings from this study don't identify cause-and-effect between the two.

Let the expert explain how the gorgeous highlights happens..

Hair Color How-Tos

Highlighting Your Hair

Want gorgeous highlights? Expert colorist Beth Minardi explains everything you need to know about this hair-coloring technique.

Whether they’re natural sun streaks or painstakingly painted on, highlights can make your hair look youthful, vibrant, and, well, just plain better.
“No little girl’s hair is all one tone, but as we get older the hair becomes more monochromatic,” says Beth Minardi, a celebrity hair colorist and co-owner and color director of Minardi Salon in New York City. “Highlighting makes the hair look younger, fuller, and can also accent a haircut.” No wonder so many of us succumb to the siren call of the colorist’s chair every couple of months for the process.
While highlights by design don’t always look natural, Minardi says that what looks modern now are highlights that are soft, subtle, and with less contrast. “High-contrast highlights are kind of out right now,” she says.
Still, your colorist should give you the kind of highlights you want — and the key to communicating that is to bring in a color photo of the look you covet, Minardi says. (Believe it or not, Minardi has had clients come to her with black-and-white photos ripped from magazines, which do nothing to help her determine the color of highlights they want.) You should also be fluent in your colorist’s language, so to speak: Be familiar with the terms and methods involved, including:
Highlights: Highlights are selected strands of hair that are lighter than the majority of the hair.
Lowlights: Lowlights are selected strands of hair that are painted a shade deeper than the color of the majority of the hair.
One of Minardi’s signature looks is a shade-on-shade color created by using both highlights and lowlights to enhance certain areas of the hair, she says. “This interplay of light and dark results in lots of soft, lovely threads of varying tone moving through the hair and looks really wonderful. It’s the best way to keep hair looking young, interesting, and even better than natural.”
Two common methods for creating both highlights and lowlights are foils and baliage:

• Foils are probably what you picture when you think about getting highlights. Pieces of foil are used as a barrier to separate the strands of hair to be highlighted and to keep the colorist from inadvertently getting the color product on other strands or sections of hair, Minardi explains. “Foils are barriers that give you more control.”
• Baliage is a French word that means “to sweep” and is also frequently referred to as hair painting. The method offers a colorist less control but is generally thought to give a more natural, sun-streaked look, in part because the color doesn’t go all the way to the scalp. Baliage also has a reputation as being a faster technique, but Minardi says that’s not always the case: “When it is done correctly, it takes more time,” she says.

Another hair highlighting method, called chunking, is just what it sounds like: A colorist adds chunks of color to the hair. But given the current move toward natural-looking highlights, Minardi says chunking is now considered passé.

Whatever method your colorist chooses, getting highlights that look natural has less to do with the method used than the skill and manual dexterity of the person doing the coloring, Minardi says. So choose an expert colorist carefully and come prepared. Chances are you’ll walk out of the salon with the beautiful highlights you wanted — and maybe even had as a girl. Who says you can’t bottle youth?
