Married people prefer to communicate with married and unmarried - from bachelors

Married couples and single people prefer to communicate with others in the same marital status. This happens because people like to think that their life is the best, especially if they believe that in the near future, their family situation is unlikely to change.

This factor also affects our attitude to other people, no matter how we originally belonged to a man, even if his family situation has not really matter. For example, in a society there is a tendency that employers are more likely to recruit staff with the same family status that they do. If a person is "stuck" within a particular social system, it makes him constantly to rationalize the system and to justify. When it comes to a direct question, we are rarely satisfied with the answer "For me it is better," and begin to indulge in long explanations. In fact, it is a vicious circle - the more we talk about it, the more convinced themselves that the only decision we have made is true, and this applies both to the family and to the lonely people.

This conclusion was confirmed by a recent survey. People talked about some abstract couple and asked in which marital status, this pair will be the most happy. In most cases, people are talking about their marital status.

As a next step, the scientists plan to determine whether this similar effect on other aspects of human life - for example, the choice of place of residence or career.
