We can all agree that receiving the silent treatment can be extremely painful. It leaves no space for discussing what the problem is and leaves those receiving the silent treatment distressed and feeling punished. In recent years, a new term——has been used to describe the process of being cut off abruptly and without explanation by others. This can happen not only insituations but also between friends and family members.
In a recent study conducted by Wu and Bamishigbin , the interviews of 34 undergraduates who had ghosted others were analyzed. From this group, 68% of participants identified as female while 32% identified as male. Additionally, 65% of the participants identified as Latinx, 15% as Asian/American, 12% as African American, 3% as European/European/American, 3% as Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 3% as Middle Eastern.
Wu and Bamishigbin looked at three aspects of ghosting. They were interested in learning about the reasons that ghosters cut people off, their attitudes toward ghosting, and how the ghosters experience the consequences of the ghosting process. The results were very interesting and may help us not only understand the process of ghosting but also understand the type of person who is likely to ghost.
