Interpersonal communication is the need of people's physical and mental health. Professor Ding Zan, a famous medical and psychological expert in China, once pointed out: "The most important thing for people's psychological adaptation is their adaptation to interpersonal relationships." Modern psychological research shows that most of human psychological obstacles are caused by the imbalance of interpersonal relationships.
This is because: conflict with people will cast a shadow on people's minds, leading to mental stress and depression, which will not only cause psychological obstacles, but also stimulate the hypothalamus, make endocrine function disorder, and further cause a series of complex physiological changes. Many psychosomatic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, peptic ulcer, hyperthyroidism, migraine, menstrual disorder, cancer, etc., are related to long-term bad mood and strong psychological stimulation.
Everyone has happiness and sadness. Sharing happiness with friends will make them happier, and sharing sadness with friends will let them go. The process of sharing is the process of relieving psychological pressure and tension. Lack of necessary communication will lead to psychological overload. A large number of studies have confirmed that living alone can lead to loneliness and anxiety, which in turn leads to psychological disorders. In some countries, interpersonal relationships are restricted and psychological isolation is implemented as a means to punish criminals. After several years of isolation, criminals are depressed and lose their language ability, and in severe cases they may suffer from schizophrenia.
Happy, extensive and profound psychological communication contributes to personality development and health. Psychologists have found that if a person lacks positive communication with others for a long time and lacks stable and good interpersonal relationships, he will often have obvious personality defects. For example, in adolescent psychological counseling, it is found that most adolescents' psychological crises are related to the lack of normal interpersonal communication and good interpersonal relationships. At the same time, psychologists have made a lot of research findings from different angles.
A healthy personality is always accompanied by healthy interpersonal communication. The higher the level of mental health, the more positive the interaction with others, the more in line with social expectations, and the deeper the relationship with others. Psychologists have studied astronauts, graduate students, college students and middle school students with excellent physical, intellectual and mental health, and reached the same conclusion, that is, people with high mental health have good communication and interpersonal relationships with others.
They have a series of personality characteristics conducive to positive communication and good interpersonal relationships, such as friendliness, reliability, consideration for others, gentleness, sincerity and trust in others. These studies also found that people with high mental health often come from happy families with good interpersonal relationships, which provides evidence that interpersonal relationships affect personality development and health from one side.
