The document summarizes an experiment that tested whether nonverbal or verbal communication is more effective at influencing people. Participants were asked to rate unfamiliar products, with the goal of getting them to rate a dog USB drive highly. One group received verbal instructions without vocal emphasis, another with vocal emphasis on the USB, and a third received verbal instructions plus body language emphasis on the USB. The group with nonverbal cues rated the USB highest, supporting the hypothesis that nonverbal communication is better for influencing people. The study aims to help understand persuasive communication techniques.
