They solved the secret of politicians. Do you see that too?
You don’t understand politicians? Nothing unusual. Many of them love round words that mean nothing. Sometimes, however, the complexity of their statements means that the author himself may have problems understanding his words. However, there is something that can change this.

It turns out that these changes reduce the complexity of politicians’ language. And contrary to appearances, it doesn’t have to be just an advantage. This complex and precise language is extremely necessary in this profession.
Age also matters
The study, published in iScience, looks at millions of speeches authored by 28,000 politicians from eight different countries. What’s more, The collected results cover a period of several decades. As scientists point out, higher temperature affects the complexity of the language used by politicians. This is especially visible in older people. But these are not all conclusions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock also emphasize that the results provide new evidence of the general impact of environmental factors on human behavior.
As the team points out, although the seemingly simpler language of politicians should make us happy, it is However, the study result also has disturbing consequences. Higher temperatures may also affect other areas, such as: making legislative decisions, planning the budget, or representing citizens around the world. High temperatures may also affect the cognitive performance of those in power. The team wants to take a closer look at this topic in the next study. They also want to include the impact of high temperatures on the productivity of politicians, which may translate into… making legislative decisions and their effectiveness and accuracy in terms of real problems of society.
