The importance of small talk.

 We too often assume that passing the - time of day in small talk - is of little importance and consequence. However this is far from the truth, according to the latest research published in The Times today. A study in the Journal of Personality and Social  Psychology asked 1800 participants to rank order conversations. Generally speaking the participants ‘enjoyed these encounters and put them in a good mood’. We shouldn’t therefore dismiss these experiences and interactions with others - as they have a beneficial influence on our mood and behaviour and could stop us from being depressed.
