Israeli studies have shown that people are "smell" and are more likely to be friends

Researchers in the Institute of Sciences in Israeli Research Recently published a research results showing that the sense of smell can also play a role in helping to choose friends in some animals in human social activities. People with similar "smell" may be easier to establish friendship Essence

Researchers reported in the American "Scientific Progress" magazine that they recruited some tacit friends and random strangers to use an electronic nasal nasal equipment with "smell" by analyzing the chemical composition of odor. Taste sample. It was found that the smell among intimate friends was closer than those in the random group.

In order to judge whether the smell is similar to becoming a friend or reason, the researchers also used the electronic nose to "smell" a set of strange volunteers and asked them to achieve non -language social interaction. It was found that people who have more similar interaction are more active. After the electronic nasal collection of tare data is entered into the calculation model, it can predict the active interaction between the two people with a 71%accuracy. This means that the taste contains information that predicts the quality of social interaction between strangers.

Researchers say that there are extensive records that the sense of smell of terrestrial mammals play an important role in social interaction. For example, dogs can usually discriminate from distant dogs as enemies or friends. When people subconsciously smell themselves and others, they may also be attracted by those who have similar "odors".

"Human humanity depends on other factors that dominate social interaction decisions. Nevertheless, our research results indeed show that the role of nose in our choice is greater than ever." Researcher Noahm · Sobel said.
