SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Study Finds Subtle Link Between Speaking Speed and Politeness
Source: PsyPost
New research provides evidence that the speed at which a person speaks is related to how polite they are trying to be. The study, published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, reports that people tend to slow down their speech when trying to sound courteous, and that they perceive slower speech from others as more formal and polite. These insights show how subtle vocal changes may help people navigate everyday social interactions.
