Truth-telling and trust levels shift in communication games with multiple senders
The article explores how people communicate in games where they can either talk at the same time or one after the other. The researchers found that when talking at the same time, messages are more likely to be helpful and correct. However, when talking one after the other, the second person often contradicts the first. People who prefer clear messages tend to choose talking at the same time. Overall, players adjust how much they tell the truth based on the communication method to avoid conflicting messages.
