  Definitely! This is why I got interested in the topic in the first place – I moved to the UK and noticed it was really easy for me to swear in English (I never swear in my native language!) and talk about awkward and difficult topics, and I wanted to find out why. This is why I like psychology as a science so much: you can come up with research questions based on your or your friends’ experiences and quite often there is a scientific explanation to them 😀
