  “Mind your own business.” we’re told.“Don't talk about others behind their backs.”The problem with this advice is thatnot only is it unrealisticit's also counterproductive(起反作用的)

  Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people's feelings and damages relationshipsBut recent research shows the opposite-that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip

  Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properlyhis gossip is letting you in on something,”says DrRalph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip saysthese are the boundaries and you are crossing themYou’re not abiding by the rules and you'd better get back in line.” Seen this waygossip is a way to communicate criticism without conflict(冲突)giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face

  On the other handwhat about ill-willed gossipthe kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don't andin nearly every country in the worldgossip magazines have huge numbers of readersAccording to researchershoweverthis kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地).“If we read bad news about well-known peopleor get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffeeour own problems begin to pale in comparison,”says DrJack Levin of Northeastern University

  However, that doesn't mean that gossip is necessarily a good thingeitherResearchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stressThis might be because while they’re busy talking about other peoplethey’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them
