Question

One study revealed that when a name is ____________, it is judged more favorably than ones that lack these qualities

Answer 1

Answer:

One study revealed that when a name is simple, easily pronounced and rhythmic, it is judged more favorably than ones that lack these qualities.

Explanation:

According to certain studies, people are more likely to favor a person whose name is simple, easily pronounced and rhythmic. These characteristics make names easier to comprehend. According to Adam Alter, psychologist and co-author of a Journal of Experimental Social Psychology study called The name-pronunciation effect: Why people like Mr. Smith more than Mr. Colquhoun, we prefer information that we can process and comprehend easily more than one that takes longer to process. This applies to names as well.
