Psychologist: Most people's blood pressure rises when they talk. ███ ███████████ ██████ ██████████ ██████ ██████ ████ ████ █████ ████ ██ ███████████ ███████ ███ ████ ████████ ██ ████ ██████████ ████ ████████ ████ ███ █████████ ██████ ████ ███ █████████████ ██████ ██ █████████████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ ████████ ████████ ██ ██████ ███████████

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The psychologist hypothesizes that increased blood pressure when talking is caused by the psychological stress of communicating, not the physical effort of speaking. She supports this by noting that, while most people’s blood pressure rises when speaking, extroverts experience smaller increases than introverts, for whom speaking is more stressful.

Notable Assumptions

The psychologist assumes that blood pressure increases from psychological stress, not physical effort, but doesn't provide any reason to rule out physical effort as being at least a part of the cause.
