Improving Civil Discourse: Speaking Is a More Civil Form of Discourse Than Writing
To improve civil discourse and “humanize” ideological opponents, is it better to speak or write? In two experiments (n=800), people reported preferring to write (vs. speak) to an opponent to diminish conflict. But six experiments with real interactions (n=2,350) suggest that speaking is more humanizing—and less conflict-ridden—than writing.
