Meaningful in-depth talks lead to happier relations as compared to discrete talks, according to a research done by the University of Arizona.

Researchers Matthias R Mehl, Shannon E Holleran and C Shelby Clark of the University of Arizona, in close unison with Simine Vazire of Washington University at St. Louis, studied on various types of conversations taking place amongst people who are happy and those who are gloomy.

The respondents were allotted with an inconspicuous recording device for four days to observe the kind of conversations they had with others. The findings amazed the researchers, who concluded that the type of conversations people had, it affects their level of happiness. Whilst the cheerful lot were more inclined to indulge in sensible talks, the unhappy ones were more likely to fit into place in petite talks.

University of Arizona's assistant professor of Psychology Matthias Mehl said that it's just like the way self-disclosure helps increase a senses of intimacy in relationships, a deep and detailed conversation infuses a sense of meaning in to interaction between partners.
