Scientists have proven the harm of insincerity in communication

Scientists from the University of Arizona said that insincerity in communication with colleagues often backfires.

That being said, trying to be honest with yourself and others, as well as being kind, can be more productive.

Researchers analyzed two types of emotion regulation that people use at work: surface acting and deep acting.

The first means falsehood in the demonstrationemotions to other people. For example, if a person shows joy when he is actually sad. Deep acting is when a person tries to reconcile his true feelings with his behavior, but at the same time, for example, learns to cope with sadness for real.

Scientists interviewed adult workers of variousindustries. As it turned out, there are four types of people: the first do not try to regulate emotions at all, the second do it infrequently, the third mostly choose deep acting, and the fourth ones constantly pretend. People of the third type were in the most advantageous position. They can count on real support from colleagues. Those who are used to lying to others about their feelings most often encounter difficulties in the long run.
