LESSON 2: WHAT’S MISSING IN TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION?
The goal of a very famous and often quoted (and misquoted) study by Albert Mehrabian was to figure
out how much of what we say contributes to whether the listeners like the speaker. Although the study
has been hotly debated, the findings were indisputable. For the people that participated in the study,
the words themselves contributed only about 7% to whether the listener connected to the speaker.
Listeners got much more information (38%) when they could also see facial expressions; when they
were also able to read body language, the results were even better, at 55%.
