Technology has changed the way people interact with each other. Forty years ago, the primary methods of interaction were in person, over the phone, or through written communication. Today, we live in a world of email, text messaging, and video calls.

As much as technology has made it easier to interact with each other, it also makes it easier to cut off interaction. There's even a term for it: ghosting. So what is ghosting? And what are the negative impacts on mental health for those who have been ghosted?

Darren Gibson discussed this topic with Dr. Zoe Chance, author of "Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science Of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen." Dr. Chance earned her doctorate in behavioral science from Harvard and is a professor at Yale School Of Management, teaching the course "Mastering Influence and Persuasion." She recently wrote an article for Psychology Today titled "Why Ghosting Is More Harmful Than We Thought."
