Research shows that people who speak at a rapid rate are perceived as having more control of a situation than those who speak at a slow-to-moderate rate.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
Answer: False
Explanation: People who speak at a rapid rate tend to speak without a plan and end talking irrelevant information that is not required in a particular situation. On the other hand, those who speak at a slow-to-moderate rate take their time to digest information to the air to their audiences. In television interviews or shows, people who speak at a rapid rate usually interrupt slow-to-moderate participants which in most instances stops them for such action. On the other hand, rapid speakers usually do not have factual points of discussion but slow-to-moderate speakers end up carrying the day due to their keenly argued points that make them have more control of a situation.
