Have you ever tried to estimate how much time do we spend while discussing others and gossiping. You will be surprised to know that we spend approximately 52 minutes means an hour on gossip.
According to a recent study in University of California, we spend an hour talking about other and gossiping in a 16 hours a day.
467 persons participated in this research, out of which 269 women and 198 men and their ages between 18-55. In research, it was observed that instead of big events or celebrities, make their own acquaintances more subject matter. Research says, young people talk more unusual than older people.
Similarly, educated people are also considered that they would avoid unnecessary conversations, however, his gossip period and the number of less educated people were also similar

I have never wondered how much time I spend on gossip because I made a conscious decision a long time ago not to waste my time that way.
that’s nice to heard from you ……..Thank you reading my post
I don’t have time to gossip, but I am not surprised about these findings
You really seems busy person .
even if I had nothing to do, I still wouldn’t have time to gossip. but I’ve been replying to posts all day and I still have 15 pages to go…
that’s great, Question in my mind , how you refresh your mind in such busy schedule ?
I read this information several days ago in local news, I was shocked
Yeah , I think 52 minute for gossip is not that bad in 16 hour day
I am not interested in gossip, I will also listen and not participate
Hummm seems a good listener
I prefer to avoid such conversations (debates). I happen to become a listener, but I do not like to participate.
that’s great and it mean you have reserved mode of talking
As much as possible, I want to avoid nonsense talk but there are times when I could prevent hearing those. But I don’t contribute. I just listen.
Listening others is also a powerful skill, after listening carefully a person in better position to reponse
I try to avoid gossip and the people who do but I think we all do it a little bit.
Yes, I agree with you , we should have little bit gossip to get fresh our mind
You just made me realize that when we go on different sites and read what others have written and then comment on that and pass some of the ideas on in a way we are gossiping and we do this every day. It might be a different form of gossip but it is still gossip. Like I go online and find something interesting to write about then I do and I pass that information on to others.
Yeah , you said very correct and I agree with you
I rarely gossip about celebrities, while I often tell the latest news or reveal things about people I know, unless they’re too private, of course.
I don’t think I spend several hours a day gossiping, anyway. ?
I think 52 minute in 16 hour day is not big deal , It mean at least 3.2 minute we use to gossip to refresh our mind every hour.
Gossip does not interest me at all.
Yeah for many the same as well
So the young gossip as much as old people. ?
yeah may be , both are same …..
