The University of Winnipeg has completed a three-year study which has found that students who text often are more likely to focus on material gain.
‘Feel Me’ App Adds Personal Touch To Texting
Compared to the likes of a phonecall or skype conversation (see or hear the person's emotions), beyond emoticons it's been a difficult task to convey that same human contact in a text. That's where Marco Triverio plans to change things with 'Feel Me.'
Study shows people are more likely to lie while text messaging
The University of British Columbia conducted a study recently, suggesting people are more likely to lie in text messages than they are in all other forms of communication.
This was done with a pretty ingenious role-playing game of 'stock market.' 170 students were analysed via face-to-face, audio, video and text message communications as they play the rolls of brokers selling stock or consumers out to buy the aforementioned stock. Just before the brokers were to make their sales pitch to consumers, they were informed that the stock had lost half its value, which set the stage for the buyers to report back to researchers, determining how often they'd been lied to.
