Excellent read. As I was going through it, I was recalling times when I seemed to be most and least effective with my rec girls. Definitely most effective when simply teaching, and definitely least effective when criticizing, even when constructive.

It was an interesting read. I printed the full study from 197x that was linked to read later.
I found it interesting that showed up on a music site.
