Study Notes
Attitude-Behavior Consistency
- Attitude Change is the initial step in persuasion, then behavior can be influenced through the attitude.
- Two crucial factors for attitude driving behavior are Attitude Availability and Attitude Relevance.
- Attitude Availability refers to the ease with which one can access and think about the attitude.
- Attitude Relevance signifies the applicability and usefulness of the attitude in a particular situation.
- Priming is a technique that influences attitude availability by exposing individuals to stimuli that evoke specific thoughts or feelings.
Dual Process Models
- Systematic Mode involves careful consideration and analysis of information, focusing on arguments, facts, evidence, and logic.
- Heuristic Mode utilizes shortcuts and simple cues, such as source attractiveness, friendliness, or expertise.
- This model suggests that persuasion effectiveness depends on the receiver's mode of thinking, with arguments being more impactful for systematic thinkers and cues holding more sway over heuristic thinkers.
Influence and Persistence
- Influence achieved through the systematic mode is more enduring, resistant to change, and predictive of behavior compared to influence derived from the heuristic mode.
- Although both modes can lead to the same amount of influence in the short term, the systematic path is more influential in the long run.
Teacher Persuasion
- Teachers often rely on arguments to influence students, but this approach may fail if students are not willing or able to engage in systematic thinking.
- Using cues, such as being friendly, engaging, and displaying expertise, could be more effective than relying solely on arguments.
- However, teachers should aim for both systematic and heuristic influence, ensuring long-lasting learning, resistance to change, and behavior modification.
Developing Effective Arguments
- The most effective arguments are those that resonate with the receiver's point of view and understanding.
- To develop strong arguments, it's essential to take a deep dive into the target audience, understanding their perspectives, interests, preferences, and language.
Cues of Influence
- These are mental shortcuts that operate in the heuristic mode, influencing behavior without requiring significant cognitive effort.
- Cues are most effective when the receiver is not engaged in systematic thinking, relying on mental shortcuts to simplify decision-making.
Liking
- When people like the source, they are more likely to comply with their requests.
- Building rapport and fostering positive relationships can significantly increase influence.
- People are more likely to purchase products from salespeople they like or at parties held by friends.
- Even physical attractiveness can influence people because they are often associated with positive qualities, leading to increased liking.
Introduction to Influence and Persuasion
- Influence is any deliberate attempt to change a receiver's thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.
- Persuasion is a specific kind of influence that uses communication to change a receiver's attitude.
- Attitude is a person’s evaluation of an object of thought.
- Persuasion aims to change attitudes because attitudes drive behavior.
Attitudes Drive Behavior
- To influence behavior, sometimes attitudes must be changed first.
- Attitudes play a key role in determining behavior.
- An attitude should be relevant to the situation for it to impact behavior.
- If an attitude isn’t available or relevant, it won’t drive behavior.
Cues of Life
- Robert Cialdini focused on real-life persuasion tactics.
- Cialdini identified six general cues of influence that transcend occupations, regions, personalities, and education.
- These cues are mental shortcuts that operate in the heuristic mode of thinking.
- The cues are most effective when the receiver is not carefully, deeply, or systematically thinking.
Consistency
- The consistency tactic forces a customer to maintain consistency with their initial position.
- One example is the “bait and switch” tactic, where the customer agrees to buy a product at a good price, but the product is then replaced by a more expensive alternative.
Scarcity
- Scarcity is the rule that rare things are highly valued.
- The Home Shopping Network uses scarcity tactics, such as time limits, to create a sense of urgency and encourage purchases.
