Egos and Email

I thought this information was worth passing on considering so many of us are involved in email communication. There are a few articles and news reports on the effects of email miscommunications and overall misunderstanding.

My friend Michele over at Family-Centered Life blogged an interesting piece regarding this titled: "The hazards of the written word....especially online." Her links will take you to an ABC News Report, with author Justin Kruger and his "Egocentrism Over E-Mails." There is also a similar report at this link:

http://www.apa.org/monitor/feb06/egos.html which covers this topic:

"An inability to step outside of one's own head may be behind e-mail miscommunication, according to recent research."

I found these reports to be very insightful.
