Persuasion Strategies

43.5K
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).

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

515
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...

Control System Problem01:21

Control System Problem

437
In an open-loop system, such as a basic thermostat, the poles of the transfer function influence the system's response but do not determine its stability. However, when feedback is introduced to form a closed-loop system, such as an advanced thermostat that adjusts heating based on room temperature, stability is governed by the new poles of the closed-loop transfer function.
When forming a closed-loop system, issues can arise if the poles cross into the unstable region, leading to potential...

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification

192
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

533
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Scabies is a neglected tropical disease causing severe itching and stigmatizing skin lesions.
  • It affects approximately 200 million people globally, disproportionately impacting disadvantaged populations in crowded tropical settings.
  • Complications include impetigo, severe bacterial infections, and post-infectious sequelae.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current scabies control strategies and their effectiveness.
  • To highlight the potential of newer approaches like ivermectin-based mass drug administration.
  • To identify factors necessary for successful global scabies control implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research on scabies control.
  • Analysis of mass drug administration strategies, particularly with ivermectin.
  • Examination of factors influencing implementation and integration into health programs.

Main Results:

  • Scabies control research, especially in endemic island settings, shows promise but lacks widespread adoption.
  • Ivermectin-based mass drug administration is a feasible and highly effective newer approach.
  • Integration with existing health programs and affordable drug supply are key enabling factors.

Conclusions:

  • Inclusion of scabies in the WHO's neglected tropical diseases portfolio offers renewed opportunities for global control.
  • Further operational research is essential to develop and monitor evidence-based control strategies across diverse settings.
  • Successful implementation requires addressing drug availability and integrating control measures into existing healthcare systems.
