Speech duration effects in the Kennedy news conferences
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|August 19, 1966
Abstract:
Transcripts of the 61 regular Kennedy news conferences were examined in an attempt to provide a replication of the "speech duration effect" previously found in two-person interviews and during manned space flight. A positive relation was found between the length of the reporters' questions and the length of the President's answers.
