Think about something that really stresses you out or annoys you. A pop quiz at school? Missing a goal in a big soccer game? When you're in a stressful situation, would you rather be able to talk to Mom or Dad on the phone, or text?
New research shows that texting can't calm your nerves like a soothing voice can. Mom's voice can cause your body to decrease its levels of cortisol, a hormone related to stress, and to increase oxytocin, a hormone related to love and trust. Text messages have no effect on these hormone levels.
"You really need to hear that voice; just reading a written message isn't good enough," Leslie Seltzer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison told the Vancouver Sun. Seltzer is interested in the effect of human language on relationships. In a 2010 study, her team put a group of 7- to 12-year-old girls through a stressful math test. Afterwards, one third of the girls got to talk to their mothers in person, another third talked to Morn on the phone, and the final third didn't get any contact at all.
In 2011, Seltzer's team performed the study again, but added a fourth group: girls who got to text with their mothers. In both studies, the groups of girls who saw Morn in person or spoke on the phone showed a similar rise in oxytocin, and as you would expect, the girls who didn't get any comfort showed a rise in cortisol. The surprising thing is, the girls who texted with Morn showed a rise in cortisol, too! Texting wasn't any more comforting than no contact at all.
