Good Lifestyle

Back in the day, it was customary to write a note of thank you to someone as a small sign of appreciation to have invited you to a wedding, to welcome a beautiful party or simply to make you a little favor. But in the digital age of Today's Hustle and Agitation, this basic label form has been replaced by superficial text or, more often, nothing at all.

Now,A new published study inPsychological scienceProvides a convincing argument for why we should bring back the thank you card.

Amit Kumar, Assistant Marketing Professor in the McComb Business School at Utah University andNicholas Epley, professor of science behavior at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, led three experiences in which they asked participants to write a thank you card to someone who did something nice for them and guess how They reachaged.

In each experiment, the researchers found that people seemed to think that the gesture would make the beneficiary feeling awkward. But the reality was that it actually stimulated the well-being not only from the recipient but also the person who wrote the card.

"We have examined what is correlating the likelihood that people express gratitude - which causes these choices - and what we have found is that the forecasts or expectations of this clumsiness, that the anticipation of the Beneficiary feel - it's the things that matter when people decide to decide to express themselves so as to express gratitude or not, "said Kumar.

It's a bit like bringing someone flowers, which is another pleasant gesture that fell from the past in recent years. In America, it's quite rare to see a man holding a bouquet of roses on every day that Valentine's Day, and many men told me that they would never bring from women's flowers during a first Date of fear of seeming too eager or too old -fasement or rendering it uncomfortable. But the truth is that recent studies have shown thatThe reception of flowers is a real atmosphere-elevator For women and men.

It is therefore time to put our insecurities aside and bring these appreciation tokens in style.

"What we have seen is that it takes only a few minutes to compose letters like these, thoughtful and sincere," says Kumar. "It's just cost, but the benefits are bigger than people wait."
