Persuasion Strategies

43.7K
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).

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Jealousy in Romantic Relationships01:23

Jealousy in Romantic Relationships

217
Jealousy is an instinctive yet socially complex emotion that arises when a close relationship is threatened. Its origins lie in both biological imperatives and sociocultural conditioning, making it a multifaceted psychological construct. Although universally experienced, the triggers and expressions of jealousy vary notably between individuals, especially across genders, due to evolutionary pressures and cultural influences.Gender Differences and Evolutionary TheoryEvolutionary theory explains...

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Decision-Making Research

Background:

  • Decision-making integrates urgency and perceptual analysis.
  • Understanding the neural basis of choice is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map the neural substrates of urgency and perceptual analysis in choice behavior.
  • To investigate the interplay between these processes in the brain.

Main Methods:

  • Electrophysiological recordings in behaving monkeys.
  • Analysis of neural activity during decision-making tasks.

Main Results:

  • Urgency signals and perceptual evidence are processed in distinct brain regions.
  • These regions exhibit complex interactions during the choice process.

Conclusions:

  • Choice involves a dynamic interplay between separate neural systems for action drive and evidence evaluation.
  • This provides a framework for understanding the neural computations underlying complex decisions.
