Why do girls put periods at the end of a text?

“We've agreed that putting a period after a one-word response in a text conveys something like abruptness, annoyance, negativity.” These findings held true with positive (“yeah” or “yup”), neutral (“maybe” or “alright”) or negative (“nope” or “nah”) responses.

This is the greatest research ever conducted on punctuation. Period.

So-called “textisms” -- i.e., emoji, deliberate misspellings (“soooo”) and irregular punctuation (“!!!”) -- are believed to add valuable context to text messages that otherwise lack the subtleties and nonverbal cues (tone, pauses and gestures) of a face-to-face conversation, a recent study in the journal Computers in Human Behavior says. So the authors, zeroing in on punctuation, found the inclusion of a period can convey negativity. Across three experiments using 10 male and 39 female undergraduate participants, the Binghamton University researchers examined how including or omitting a period in a one-word text response to an invitation -- like “yeah,” “maybe” or “nope” -- affected people’s understanding. Also read:Angela Merkel’s favorite emoji could make your coworkers see you as less competent “We found that if you put a period after those short, one-word responses, the people reading the texts ... understand (it) as being more negative, less enthusiastic, than if they had no period,” co-author Celia Klin told Moneyish. “We’ve agreed that putting a period after a one-word response in a text conveys something like abruptness, annoyance, negativity.” These findings held true with positive (“yeah” or “yup”), neutral (“maybe” or “alright”) or negative (“nope” or “nah”) responses. Periods, the researchers wrote, “can serve a rhetorical, rather than a grammatical, function in text messages.” And punctuation, in a more general sense, “can convey the types of social and pragmatic information that are communicated with extra-linguistic cues in face-to-face conversations.” Also read:Apple just announced a bunch of new emojis, including a Muslim woman and breastfeeding mom A key takeaway, according to the authors, is that people have adapted to communicate effectively with whatever tools they have -- as language and technological innovation constantly evolve.

“Language users are clever,” Klin said. “We use what we’ve got.”

defendinnocence.org - 6 Perpetrator Child Grooming Behaviors | Defend Innocence

Perpetrators of child sexual abuse are not those scary men who lurk around playgrounds looking for opportunities. In fact, according to the Crimes Against Children Research Center, 90% of children who are sexually abused know their perpetrator. Perpetrators of sexual abuse are anywhere and everywhere. They are charismatic everyday people who earn the trust of others. They could be a staff member at your child’s school; they could be your child’s coach or music instructor; they could be at your church; they could be the nanny; they could be your very own family member. The truth is that sexual perpetrators look and act like any other “normal” person. It can be difficult to pick them out. However, there are things that almost all perpetrators have in common: they often use certain behaviors to groom a child for abuse. These behaviors are methodical, subtle, gradual, and escalating (meaning they intensify as time goes by). We typically refer to these as grooming behaviors. While this might be frightening to think about, knowing these grooming patterns will help you to know how to identify grooming behavior, strengthen your parenting intuition, and help significantly lower the risk of your child being sexually abused and recognize signs of grooming behavior.
