Silent Listening

If something bad just happened to your friend, what would you do? Would you mention it to him and sayyou feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to RuthClark, such treatment could mean well, but it might not bewhat he really wants or needs.

Clark asked some collegestudents to imagine some unpleasant situations, e.g., a low examgrade or the dad’s loss of his job. The students were then asked how they would like to be treated bya friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were alittle surprising. Some said they would want andexpect their friend to mention the annoying situation, but most of thestudents in the study responded that they would like the friend not to do it. The students made the decision for themselves whether to discusstheir problem with a friend. So, there is value in being a silent listener around a troubled friend.

## 无声的倾听

如果你的朋友刚刚经历了一件不幸的事情，你会怎么做？你会提到这件事并表示同情吗？你会提供支持或建议吗？根据露丝·克拉克（Ruth Clark）的研究，这种处理方式可能本意是好的，但可能不是他真正想要或需要的。

克拉克让一些大学生想象一些不愉快的情况，例如，考试成绩低或者父亲失业。然后，她询问这些学生，当他们的朋友从别人那里得知这个坏消息时，他们希望朋友如何对待自己。结果有点令人惊讶。一些人说他们希望并期待朋友提到这个恼人的情况，但研究中的大多数学生表示，他们希望朋友不要提及。他们决定是否与朋友讨论自己的问题。因此，在一个遇到困境的朋友身边成为一个无声的倾听者是很有价值的。
