In Indian society, the horoscopes of boys and girls are often mixed before marriage. Pandits give their opinion about the future of marriage after looking at the horoscope. But scientists have developed a psychological test to understand relationships, which does not require date, time or place of birth.
According to researchers, seeing a picture of a person's partner can create a positive or negative reaction in his mind for a few moments. By understanding this initial reaction, a person's feelings regarding the relationship can be estimated.
You have to answer immediately after seeing the picture
In this test the person is shown the picture of his partner for a very short time. After this he has to give his reaction in a few words without thinking too much. During this period, the researchers also paid attention to the speed of reply and the manner of voice.
The idea behind the test is that when a person has positive feelings about their partner, their initial reaction to seeing the photo may also be positive. At the same time, if there are negative feelings about the relationship, the reaction may be different.
Research conducted on 135 newly married couples
135 newly married couples were included in this research. Researchers studied these couples' relationships over a long period of time and assessed their status approximately every six months.
This monitoring continued for about four years. Researchers tried to understand how the feelings shown towards the partner at the beginning of marriage are related to the state of the relationship later on.
Initial negative thinking affects relationships.
The research found that people who had negative initial reactions to their partner were more likely to have lower marital satisfaction over time. In some cases, relationships deteriorated so much that the marriage even broke up.
However, it would not be correct to consider such a test as a sure prediction of the future of marriage. A relationship is affected by many things including mutual understanding, communication, behavior, financial circumstances and emotions changing over time.
The main objective of this research was to understand that a person's immediate and unconscious psychological reaction What it might indicate about his inner feelings regarding the relationship.
