IF YOU TALK LOUDER THAN ANYONE ELSE, PEOPLE WILL ASSUME YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!
I wrote that previous sentence in all-caps because I wanted to make sure that all you folks out there reading this believe what I’m telling you. And, according, to a new study reported in The Daily Mail, the louder and more assertive I am, the more likely you’ll think I’m right, regardless of how annoying it may seem.
Being confident and loud is the best way to win an argument – even if you are wrong, a new study suggests.
Researchers from Washington State University drew this conclusion after studying the activity of Twitter users. The more opinionated they were, the more influential and trustworthy they were perceived to be.
They analyzed more than a billion tweets posted during various American sporting events, including the 2013 Super Bowl, to the test whether being accurate or being confident made Twitter users more popular.
Despite professional pundits and amateur fans making a similar amount of correct and incorrect predictions, the tweeters who ‘yelled’ louder were seen as more trustworthy and had more followers.
