, researchers tested the effect of the unnecessary apology. A man approached dozens of strangers waiting at a train station on a rainy day and asked to borrow their cellphones.
“There’s really no apology researcher who will ever tell you that apologizing is bad,” said Alison Wood Brooks, an associate professor at Harvard Business School and the lead author of the study. “There’s just no evidence that zero apology is ever better than at least one.”Apologizing to express regret for foul weather, frustrating traffic or to say “I’m sorry you’re not feeling well” can be handy devices in conversations.
“The much, much, much more common error is not apologizing enough than over apologizing,” Brooks said.Karina Schumann, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, said that in her research, women do apologize slightly more than men on average.But that’s probably because women are more likely to notice that a given behavior may be offensive and, therefore, more deserving of an apology.
Still, not every “I’m sorry” is an apology, said Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. A person might say “I’m sorry” but not as an admission of guilt. They’re just saying “I’m sorry that happened,” said Tannen, who wrote“It’s often just a ritual, automatic,” Tannen said. “You might call it a social lubricant. And language is full of that.”Some people believe there are drawbacks to apologizing.
