People Often Trust Eloquence More Than Honesty
By: Todd Rogers and Michael I. Norton
Abstract
This article presents a dual interview based on a research study we conducted. Our study found that an artful dodger of questions was generally considered more likable than a person who answered the same questions directly but with less eloquence. We comment on the implications of this research for political campaigns and business management.
