[quote=SABERXLCR,225556]Sincere or Sarcastic?Like most members here I have read posts or responses and just shake my head. The interesting thing is that all of us only have a 50% chance of understanding what the person’s tone was when they wrote it!Below is a link to a interesting article about a study that was done to ‘test’ if you could determine what the ‘tone’ of an email was about. Some highlights of it are:“According to recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, I've only a 50-50 chance of ascertaining the tone of any e-mail message. The study also shows that people think they've correctly interpreted the tone of e-mails they receive 90 percent of the time.”"People often think the tone or emotion in their messages is obvious because they 'hear' the tone they intend in their head as they write"“Those who sent the messages predicted that nearly 80 percent of the time their partners would correctly interpret the tone. In fact the recipients got it right just over 50 percent of the time.”Perhaps knowing this information may help people here get along better and more importantly, give confidence to those that are reluctant to post..?http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70179-0.html?tw=wn_culture_2[/quote]
