Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? Yale Attitude Change Approach The topic of persuasion has been one of the most extensively researched areas in social psychology...

Persuasion: Motivational Factors Influencing Attitude Change

Source: William Brady & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Decades of social psychological research sought to understand a fundamental question that pervades our social life including politics, marketing and public health; namely, how are people persuaded to change their attitudes towards an idea, person, or object? Traditional work found that there are key factors that influence whether persuasion is successful or not including the source of the persuasive message ("source"), and the...

Subliminal Perception

Subliminal perception refers to the processing of sensory information that occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Researchers study subliminal perception by presenting a stimulus, such as a word or image, very quickly, typically around 50 milliseconds. This rapid presentation is often followed by another stimulus, such as a pattern of dots or lines, which blocks further mental processing of the initial stimulus. As a result, if participants cannot identify the initial stimulus better...

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). Get Your Foot in the Door The first effective strategy is the foot-in-the-door technique (Cialdini, 2001; Pliner, Hart, Kohl, & Saari, 1974): If a persuader—such as a salesperson—gets an individual...

Post-Movie Subliminal Measurement (PMSM), for Investigating Implicit Social Bias
0 Views •
2020
This protocol describes the use of movies to investigate brain mechanisms underlying implicit social biases during functional magnetic resonance imaging. When the face of a protagonist is presented after a movie subliminally, it evokes an implicit response based on knowledge of the protagonist gained during the movie.

These factors help determine whether a briefly presented cue is relevant enough to influence a later judgment or choice. A stimulus does not operate as a universal command; its impact varies with the person’s current goals and the surrounding context. This conditional pattern helps explain why reported effects are typically small and short-lived.
Evidence described in psychology supports, at most, limited changes in subsequent judgments or choices under particular conditions, not dependable control of what people do. The distinction matters because an unconscious influence can be measurable without being powerful, persistent, or sufficient to override existing needs and situational factors.
Masking stimuli are presented around a briefly shown word or image to prevent conscious recognition. This lets researchers test responses to a cue while reducing the possibility that participants deliberately interpret it. The design is important because the claimed effect concerns processing without conscious awareness, so awareness must be addressed directly in the experiment.
They may briefly present a word or image, follow it with a masking stimulus, and then assess a later judgment or choice. The central comparison examines whether exposure changes that response under the tested conditions. This workflow links stimulus presentation to an observable outcome while limiting conscious recognition as an alternative explanation.
Typical outcomes include subsequent judgments or choices after exposure to the brief cue. Researchers interpret any change in relation to the person’s motivation, existing needs, and the experimental context rather than treating it as general behavioral control. Small or short-lived differences are especially important because they limit broad conclusions about practical influence.
It provides a way to examine whether stimuli outside conscious recognition can affect later judgments or choices, while also testing the limits of that influence. In advertising and decision-making research, the topic supports careful questions about context, motivation, and durability rather than assuming that hidden messages reliably determine consumer or personal behavior.
