Articulate Learn
The research the training is built on.
Articulate Daily coaches from the interview and negotiation literature, and publishes its evidence base. Every specific claim below links to the source it was read from. Where the evidence is weak, contested or absent, the entry says so instead of rounding up.
The STAR method: what the evidence actually supports
Structured interviews are the best-validated selection tool there is — but STAR as an answer format has never been tested. What the research rewards is one specific story, started without delay.
Why we don’t count your filler words
Most speaking apps count every “um”. The interview evidence points somewhere else: what costs you is the long silence before you start — not the fillers along the way.

The same answer lands differently in Oslo and in Austin. The research behind why Articulate Daily coaches to a market register instead of one global rubric.
Anchoring a salary negotiation: the strongest result in the field
Where the first number lands is largely where the deal ends — and ambition has a measurable cost. The evidence behind how Articulate Daily Career trains the anchor.
Where self-promotion fails: the francophone evidence
One experiment directly tested a self-promoting candidate against a modest one in front of recruiters from two French-speaking cultures — and only one of them rewarded the self-promoter. Why Articulate Daily coaches a modest register for France and French-speaking Europe.
Interviewing in India: claim the credit, keep the hierarchy
A ten-country study found honest self-promotion predicted better interview performance — India included. The evidence behind a register that pairs expected credit-claiming with an intact hierarchy.
Negotiation beyond the anchor: trades, the social price, and honest technique
The anchor decides where the conversation starts. What decides how it ends: trading in packages, managing the real social cost of asking, and knowing which famous techniques are measured findings versus practitioner craft.
Germany is not the Nordics: the DACH interview register
German-speaking Europe is often coached as if modesty were the rule. The data says the opposite: assertiveness level with the US, paired with the strongest verification culture in Europe. What that means for how you interview.
