Communication Factors in Email (and other low band textual channels)
posted by coderman at 2006-09-20 23:59

coderman: "When you read the books on nonverbal communication (specifically a study conducted by Mehrabian) they state that 85-90% of face to face communication occurs in the nonverbal realm and not the words themselves. At least with a phone call, you add all the voice cues that we need to "read" a message."

Toxoplasmosis
posted by coderman at 2006-09-20 23:54

coderman: "The evidence for behavioral effects on humans, although intriguing, is relatively weak. There have been no randomized clinical trials studying the effects of toxoplasma on human behavior. Although some researchers have found potentially important associations with toxoplasma, it is possible that these associations merely reflect factors that predispose certain types of people to infection"
coderman: Other studies suggest that the parasite may influence personality. There are claims of toxoplasma causing antisocial attitudes in men and promiscuity[8] (or even "signs of higher intelligence")[9] in women, and greater susceptibility to schizophrenia and manic depression[8] in all infected persons. A 2004 study found that toxoplasma "probably induce[s] a decrease of novelty seeking."
