The effectiveness of the silent treatment

The silent treatment works depending on your goal.

The silent treatment in relationships

Many studies have been conducted about the silent treatment in familial relationships and romantic relationships and the outcome showed that those who used the silent treatment against their parents had self-esteem issues and the parents who used it on their children reported that the children felt like they had no control within the relationship.

Moreover, in romantic relationships, the partners who used the silent treatment were less committed to their relationship than those who don't.
