Twenty years ago, a team of psychologists reviewed audio from almost four hundred university students who had been carrying \u201celectronically activated recorders\u201d\u2014EAR<\/em>s\u2014for several days in a row. Five times an hour, the devices automatically turned on for thirty seconds. The psychologists then analyzed the audio to test a popular claim. A recent book, \u201cThe Female Brain,\u201d had asserted that women were intrinsically chattier than men\u2014blabbing roughly twenty thousand words a day, while men uttered only seven thousand. The study found no evidence of that. On a typical day, both men and women spoke an estimated sixteen thousand words a day\u2014roughly the word count of \u201cA Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthias Mehl, a social psychologist at the University of Arizona, who helped conduct the study, recently set out to replicate his findings with a larger data set: audio from more than two thousand people between the ages of ten and ninety-four, recorded between 2005 and 2019. Once again, Mehl concluded that men and women were equally talkative. But, strangely, when he and a co-author further analyzed the results, they found that participants had spoken an estimated twelve thousand seven hundred words a day\u2014twenty per cent less than in the earlier study. \u201cWe thought we must have made a mistake,\u201d Mehl said. Each year, he went on, the number of words spoken daily seemed to decline by about three hundred and thirty-eight. That translates into around a hundred and twenty thousand words a year\u2014about the length of \u201cSense and Sensibility.\u201d And Mehl noticed that the decline was even steeper for people under twenty-five, who lost an average of four hundred and fifty-one daily words a year. \u201cThis is many, many minutes of conversations,\u201d Mehl told me.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A paper about the lost words, published earlier this year, has inspired intriguing theories. Valeria Pfeifer, one of its co-authors, speculated that spoken words have been supplanted by digital communication. This isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing; I text with a good friend in London almost every day, which keeps us connected when we go months without seeing each other. \u201cMaybe I don\u2019t have to talk to people about trivial matters anymore, and I\u2019m judiciously pruning my communications to be focussed on those things that are more important,\u201d Joshua Smyth, a health psychologist at the Ohio State University who was not affiliated with the study, told me. Mehl raised more concerning possibilities. \u201cWe don\u2019t ask people for directions anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cWe take the self-checkout line at the grocery store, and we don\u2019t talk to our neighbors.\u201d He worries that the EAR<\/em> logs reflect something that other psychologists have observed: the erosion of small, everyday interactions. In a new book, \u201cOnce Upon a Stranger,\u201d the psychologist Gillian Sandstrom notes that speaking to people whom we don\u2019t know has been shown to teach us new things, to put us in a better mood<\/em>, and to make our lives feel more satisfying<\/em>. Failing to do so could make us isolated or distrustful of others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The EAR<\/em> can\u2019t prove any of these theories\u2014it can only listen. Mehl co-created it, in the nineties, to gauge who people talked to, how often they talked to them, and the kind of language they used. \u201cWe basically get an unobtrusive record of a person\u2019s day as it naturally unfolds,\u201d he said. The first version was a modified microcassette recorder; Mehl had to call participants in the morning to remind them to flip the tape. Now the EAR<\/em> comes in the form of a smartphone app. As long as participants remember to keep their phones on them, it will passively document sounds in their lives. Researchers have used the EAR<\/em> to listen in on postpartum women, couples, Americans after 9\/11, and young athletes.<\/p>\n

In April, I loaded the EAR<\/em> app onto a borrowed Android phone. I wondered if the soundscape of my own life was quieting down\u2014would I wind up recording a lot of silence? In the span of a week, the phone spent time on my desk, in my kitchen, at dinner parties, and in meetings with a contractor. Even though I record several hours of journalistic interviews each week, and my husband and I have a tradition of recording recaps of our travels when the memories are fresh, I felt slightly nervous about replaying the audio. The EAR<\/em> exists because we aren\u2019t fully aware of how we sound. What would it reveal?<\/p>\n

In the twentieth century, many social scientists advanced the argument that measuring what happened in \u201creal life\u201d could unveil more than highly controlled laboratory experiments. In 1949, eight observers worked in shifts to generate data for \u201cOne Boy\u2019s Day,\u201d a report that documented every activity of a seven-year-old in Kansas. In the seventies, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a psychologist recognized for naming the \u201cflow state,\u201d helped develop what came to be known as the experience-sampling method, in which research participants filled out questionnaires whenever a wristwatch or pager beeped. In the nineties, two other psychologists, Arthur Stone and Saul Shiffman, introduced a similar approach, the ecological momentary assessment (E.M.A.), which asked people to share how they felt or what they were doing throughout the day. Stone, the director of U.S.C.\u2019s Center for Self-Report Science, told me that the resulting snapshots gave researchers an \u201cunderstanding of what that person is really like.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that people lie. Rather, in Smyth\u2019s telling, it\u2019s that we can\u2019t say accurately what we did last month, or how we felt this morning. \u201cWhen I\u2019m asked to summarize my experiences, it tends not necessarily to reflect my actual experience, but more how I think<\/em> my experiences are,\u201d Smyth told me. Different psychological tools can document different aspects of life. The E.M.A. captures momentary feelings; other methods passively track physical movements or social-media use. (Most people say that they move much more than they really do.) The EAR<\/em> listens. Susan Wenze, an associate professor of psychology at Lafayette College, emphasized that it does not capture inner experiences or feelings. It can\u2019t say whether you\u2019re lying or putting on a brave face. But it often leads to surprising findings.<\/p>\n

In 2016, a study that used the EAR<\/em> found that children\u2019s asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, increased when they fought with their family members\u2014an association that wasn\u2019t as noticeable when families filled out daily diaries. Another study found that romantic partners rarely discussed breast cancer after one of them was diagnosed, except to work through logistical considerations such as appointment times and doctors\u2019 credentials. A third one found that when people with rheumatoid arthritis or cancer swore around others they received less emotional support from friends, and their depression symptoms tended to worsen. Yet another review of EAR<\/em> audio found that people who sighed frequently were not necessarily burdened by negative emotions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

People quickly forget they\u2019re being recorded, according to Charles Raison, a professor of human ecology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has used the EAR<\/em> in several studies. Participants usually wear pins disclosing to others that they may be recorded, but the audio rarely includes<\/em> discussions of the research, and people don\u2019t seem to change their behavior as a result. \u201cAfter a while, they\u2019d relax,\u201d Raison told me. \u201cThey\u2019d have sex with it in the room. They would go to the bathroom with it on.\u201d In one study, on whether morality is a consistent personality trait, the EAR<\/em> overheard sarcastic remarks (\u201cYou want my lemonade? Sure! After you drank the whole thing!\u201d) and bragging (\u201cMy dad\u2019s car collection is so large he had to build a new garage.\u201d). Raison, who had previously studied meditation, used the EAR<\/em> to evaluate whether two hundred people who participated in meditation subsequently became kinder, swore less, or engaged in deeper conversations. He saw no effect. \u201cI\u2019d probably still be a meditation researcher if that hadn\u2019t been such a negative study,\u201d he said. A project by other researchers listened in on people who had recently separated<\/em>. More frequent contact did not seem to cause immediate distress, but it seemed to be a predictor of emotional struggles two months later\u2014suggesting that going \u201cno contact\u201d might help people with moving on.<\/p>\n

The week that I recorded wasn\u2019t a dramatic one. I wasn\u2019t in the midst of a separation or raising a child with asthma. I expected a neutral recap of a somewhat boring period, and when I clicked through the thirty-second snippets from April 30th I did hear my voice conversing on routine work calls and over dinners, talking to my sister, and discussing a basement leak. Several clips were devoid of any sound at all, except rapid typing and the occasional clearing of the throat. I noticed myself feeling self-conscious about solitary days when I spoke little, and proud when I\u2019d had a chatty day. Unfortunately, I encountered some technical difficulties mid-week; I was sad when I realized I had no snippets from a long dinner at a friend\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

I really did hear things that I didn\u2019t know about myself. I learned that I should probably take more breaks that don\u2019t involve work on my house, and that a cough from a recent cold had lingered more than I\u2019d realized. During work calls, I found myself to be friendly, but much more formal than I expected. Listening back to a conversation with my mom, I cringed at the impatience that rapidly showed up in my voice. In a few dinnertime recordings, I was taken aback by the sound of soft, relaxed voices over the sounds of forks and knives. My husband and I were using tones that I didn\u2019t hear myself use with anyone else; we were quiet and completely unguarded. Mehl, the co-creator of EAR<\/em>, told me that his study participants often share similar micro-insights. \u201cOne person said, \u2018I didn\u2019t know I was so quiet,\u2019 \u201d he told me. Another told him, \u201cI don\u2019t think of myself as arrogant, but I can see why people say that.\u201d When Mehl recorded himself, he was surprised by the share of his time that he spends alone. \u201cWe typically see our lives from the inside out,\u201d he said. \u201cThis gives you a chance to hear your life from the outside in.\u201d Lately, in response to the study about lost words, he\u2019s been consciously trying to chat with strangers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From the data that I gathered, I couldn\u2019t figure out if I was speaking fewer words than I might have in the past. Yet there was almost no small talk in my recordings. I\u2019d expected to hear myself spending more time in my neighborhood\u2014chatting at my local bakery, say, or visiting the community garden. According to Pfeifer, the researcher who co-wrote the lost-words paper, in-person interactions are worth preserving because they\u2019re fundamentally different from other ways that we communicate. We use gestures and facial expressions that aren\u2019t available on the phone or in writing; there\u2019s no chance to save a response for later, or to agonize over what to say. I was struck by how fragmentary spoken language can be. We interrupt. We finish one another\u2019s sentences. \u201cWhat we say is fleeting,\u201d Pfeifer said, and there\u2019s usually no record of it. \u201cOnce said, it is lost.\u201d\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n
