频用代词“我”的人易抑郁 德国卡塞尔大学的研究人员发现，说话时频繁使用第一人称单数代词“我”的人更容易受抑郁和焦虑症困扰，且不善人际交往。 ? People who say me, myself and I frequently are more likely to suffer with depression and anxiety, according to new research. ? Scientists at the University of Kassel, Germany, found that people who use first-person singular pronouns the most are more likely to be depressed than those who tend to use plural pronouns, such as we. ? The researchers, led by Dr Johannes Zimmerman, interviewed 15 men and 103 women, most of whom were being treated for conditions such as depression and anxiety disorder. ? The interviewers asked the participants about their past, their relationships, and their self-perception, according to Medical Daily. ? They found that people who say me and I tend to be more depressed, and that they also have more difficulties with interpersonal behavior such as interacting in a group of people. ? For example, these people were more likely to attention-seek and to be unable to spend time alone. ? By contrast, those who use words like we a lot were better at maintaining appropriate social boundaries in their relationships while still having a healthy social life. ? Dr Zimmerman told Medical Daily: Using first-person singular pronouns highlights the self as a distinct entity whereas, using first-person plural pronouns emphasize [being part of] social relationships. ? As a result, Dr Zimmerman believes that people who use the singular pronouns tend to be needier.
