[ad_1] Contra-intuitive insights about building successful relationships based on research into interaction between humans and computers.

Books like Predictably Irrational and Sway have revolutionized how we see human behavior. Now Stanford professor Clifford Nass has discovered a set of rules for effective human relationships, drawn from an unlikely source: his study of our interactions with computers.

Based on his decades of research, Nass demonstrates that - although we may deny it - we treat computers and other devices such as humans: we live with them, discuss with them, form a bond with them. We even lie to them to protect their feelings.

This fundamental revelation has led to pioneering research into how people should behave with each other. Nass & # 39; s research shows that:

• Combining criticism and praise is a hugely ineffective evaluation method
• Flattery works - even when the recipient knows it's fake
• Introverted people and extroverts can each be the best sell to one of their own [19659008] The discoveries of Nass offer nothing less than a new blueprint for successful human relationships.
