As we advance more into the digital age, the ways we communicate also change. One primary source of communication these days is texting, and research on texting and relationships shows just how influential texting as a means of communication.
Researcher Leora Trub has found that when it comes to relationships, finding someone with your same texting style improves relationship satisfaction. Trub’s team surveyed 205 adults in romantic relationships between the ages of 18 and 29, asking questions about emotional security, texting habits and relationship satisfaction. The study respondents, who had the same texting style as their partner, reported having more satisfaction. It makes sense, as someone who texts frequently would probably only annoy someone who didn’t like communicating via text and vice versa. The surveys also showed that even if the messages were about complaints or an issue with the relationship, similar texting styles helped improve communication and satisfaction overall.
