The behavior is typical among teens — Why didn’t he call? Should I break up with him? And, psychologists say, it has intensified significantly with e-mail, text messaging, instant messaging and Facebook. And in certain cases it can spin into a potentially contagious and unhealthy emotional angst, experts say. katiebda Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:42:51 +0000 september08 kdqpp research http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/08/17/confidence_game/ "Trust is the baseline," says Susan Fiske, a social psychologist at Princeton University.
