AUSTIN, Texas Evidence of an impending breakup may exist in the small words used in everyday conversations months before either partner realizes where their relationship is heading, according to new psychology research.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin analyzed more than 1 million posts by 6,800 Reddit users one year before and one year after they shared news about their breakups in the r/BreakUps subreddit. The researchers found that three months before the breakup, their language began to change and did not return to normal until about six months after.
The study, published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to examine breakups and how long they last using natural language data.
Break-ups are something that many people dread - especially when you don t see them coming.
Now, a new study has revealed a key way to tell if your partner is thinking of breaking up with you, based on their language.
The study found that people contemplating the end of a relationship change their launguage and start saying I and we more.
According to the experts, the use of the word I is correlated with depression and sadness, and is a key sign that someone is carrying a heavy cognitive load.
The researchers hope the findings will provide people with a key insight into how loved ones may respond over time to the end of a romantic relationship.
