A new study revealed that people who indulge in meaningful conversation are more likely to be happier than those who engage more in irrelevant talks. Purposeful talks can make people cheerful.

Researchers from the University of Arizona analyzed the basic difference between people who are happy and those who are unhappy. It was established that people feel happier when they indulged more in meaningful conversations than in insignificant ones.

Matthias Mehl, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, said, “Profound conversations have the potential to make people happier”.

In the study, 79 women and men had been requested to carry inconspicuous recording devices for four days to observe the conversations they had with the other persons.

According to the study, cheerful people don’t spend their time alone. Happiest persons spent 70% time discussing, in comparison to those who were not happy. Women were more likely to share their feelings than men.

The study found that happiness does not necessarily come from meeting people, but it comes from indulging in meaningful and important conversations with people.
