Love Letters Are Verifiable Evidence — Psychologist by rodeo0070(m): 7:37am On Jan 27, 2013 |
Dr. Oni Fagboungbe A lecturer at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Lagos, Dr. Oni Fagboungbe, responds to some questions regarding the death of love letters What is your view on the death of love letters? In fact, I was asking some Master’s students in Public and International Affairs some time ago whether Christmas and other greetings cards are still available. Some of them said they were still in circulation but not as popular as they used to be because people now prefer to send text messages and make phone calls. So, the same has become of love letters. Why do you think people now prefer these new channels? Well, these new forms of communication are cheaper, less time- consuming and faster. Can you give us an idea of how letter writing was during your days? During our days, we didn’t have the influx of technology as it is today. Letter writing was common. When you like a girl, you would gather your friends, take your dictionary and use big words to write a letter. Some of the words included “doxology.” The girl may not even answer the letter because of the words used. Is there any psychological approach to why love letters may have lost their appeal these days? From a psychological view, people may no longer want to write letters because they are verifiable evidence. This is especially in a situation where the writer does not really want to be committed to the contents in the letter.
