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).

Cognitive Dissonance

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...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.3K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

56
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Economics
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Administrative burdens can decrease public social program effectiveness by deterring participation.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding the impact of administrative burdens on youth-focused social programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically assess how various barriers influence adolescents' enrollment in summer jobs programs.
  • To identify effective strategies for reducing administrative burdens in youth social programs.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental design in Philadelphia using reminder emails to assess application completion rates.
  • A non-experimental analysis of summer jobs programs in Philadelphia and Chicago, examining the impact of individualized enrollment support on participation among disconnected youth.

Main Results:

  • Reminder emails increased application completion by 1.3 percentage points (8.8%), with a notable trend towards greater impact from reminders emphasizing short-term financial gains.
  • Without personalized outreach and enrollment support, disconnected youth were less likely to participate in programs compared to their more advantaged peers.
  • Personalized outreach and paperwork assistance during enrollment made disconnected youth as or more likely to participate.

Conclusions:

  • Administrative burdens significantly constrain the potential benefits of public spending on youth programs.
  • Reducing administrative hurdles through strategies like personalized support and targeted reminders can enhance program uptake and maximize positive outcomes for young people.
