According to a study conducted by the University of British Columbia, text messages make people more likely false when compared to other methods of communication.
The study was conducted on 170 students using the different forms of communication such as face to face, television, voice or text. The students are grouped into pairs to play the role of stock brokers and buyers.
The researchers said that the stock broker to sell shares they will lose 50% of its value within a week and encourage them by all means sell as many shares as possible bad for buyers. While buyers will not know this information.
The study has shown that the stockbroker will lie to the buyer in two ways, either lying about the quality, or no mention of the bad condition they will sell shares to the buyer. The rate is more likely to lie in the communication of text, while the brokerage will be honest about the quality of the stock in the video conversations, overcoming communication and face to face conversation the sound.
More specifically, the buyer will receive information through text messaging is the report lies more than 95% compared to when they interact via video, more than 31% over the face to face and 18 % compared to when they interact via audio chat.
The result is not surprising because the text messages, eye gestures, body language of the speaker will not be present with the listener, so that false information will be transmitted easily load more.
Finally, if you are looking to shop online from sites such as Ebay, the researchers recommend the University of British Columbia do not communicate via e-mail, but please consider talking to a salesman on phone or Skype to get honest answers about the properties of the product.
