Research Fact :
( We all concede, that the world favours extroverts but here is a flip side ! )
Groups Grow Disappointed with Extroverts Over Time !
Upon joining a group, extroverts are perceived as having high status.
But in an online experiment involving imagined scenarios, extroverts' perceived status slipped from 4.37 to 3.87 on a 7-point scale .
Reason ?
The group came to consider their assertiveness and talkativeness less valuable and suspected that they were motivated by self-interest .
What should Extroverts do ?
To retain their status, extroverts must contribute at especially high levels to counter growing negative perceptions of them, the researchers advise .
