快樂的人說話更吸引別人

        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.

 　　 EAR 每12.5 分鐘便會(huì)錄下一段 30 秒長(zhǎng)的聲音，總共會(huì)產(chǎn)生2 萬段以上的錄音。然后研究員會(huì)聽這些錄音，并分辨出這些談話是屬于平常的閑聊還是屬于實(shí)質(zhì)性的討論。另外，志愿者還要完成個(gè)人性格及安逸度的評(píng)估。
