Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).
The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the $2,000...
The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
Fixing Double-strand Breaks02:04

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine
    • Criminal Justice Health

    Background:

    • Fatal overdoses are a significant concern among individuals recently released from incarceration.
    • The period immediately following release from prison is associated with a heightened risk of drug overdose.
    • Naloxone is a critical medication for reversing opioid overdoses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the potential of distributing naloxone to prisoners upon release to reduce fatal overdose rates.
    • To highlight existing naloxone programs in Scotland and Wales for this population.
    • To announce an upcoming major trial of naloxone distribution in England.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing naloxone distribution programs for prisoners in Scotland and Wales.
    • Information gathering on the planning and scope of a new trial in England.

    Main Results:

    • Naloxone programs are currently established and operational in Scotland and Wales.
    • A significant trial focused on naloxone provision to prisoners is scheduled to commence in England.

    Conclusions:

    • Distributing naloxone to prisoners at the time of release is a viable strategy to mitigate fatal overdose risks.
    • The expansion of naloxone programs across the UK, including England, signifies a commitment to harm reduction for this vulnerable population.
