Aharef

Kaffee macht nicht nur wach, sondern auch offener. Gemäss einer australischen Studie soll man also immer zuerst jemanden zum Kaffee einaden, bevor man etwas von ihm will.

The Australian researchers say a caffeine hit improves our ability to process information and increases the extent to which we listen to and take on board a persuasive message.

They tested this by quizzing people about their attitudes to voluntary euthanasia and abortion before and after either the equivalent of about two cups of coffee or a placebo.

They were also given a persuasive argument to read after having the caffeine.

The experiments showed that "caffeine increases persuasion through instigating systematic processing of the message".

But caffeine also puts people in a better mood, which makes them more likely to agree with a message, the researchers say
