There’s a saying that goes: People’s opinions are like bellybuttons; everyone has one. So true. It’s part of what makes us individuals, adds variety to life! But have you ever wondered if your beliefs are really your own? What if it was put there by someone else without you even noticing? Many of us are certain that no ad or news piece changes the way we think or makes us wanna buy something. Think about it: if you know that a commercial or sponsored social media post is designed to manipulate how you think about something, then how could it work? Plus, do you even pay attention to ads?

SUMMARY: - You get a piece of information that sounds like it could be true at first, but you dismiss it as soon as you notice that it’s likely just biased propaganda. However, psychologists found that after some time, despite being perceptive enough to “know better” when first presented with the message, people come to accept it! - There’s The Framing Effect, which is all about perception. After all, language can be tricky and when it comes to how we want someone to think about something, it’s not always about what we say, but how we say it. - Have you ever heard of The Semmelweis Reflex? Basically, this is where we just see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear. We’re bombarded with so many sources of information every day, our brain chooses to digest the ones that fit in with the expectations and beliefs we already have. - When something terrible happens to lots of people it’s a statistic. When it happens to one person, it’s a tragedy. This is called The Identifiable Victim Effect, and it colors how we process everything from world news to public policy. - Anchoring is a pretty useful trick too. It’s something we all do and smart advertisers, marketers, and salespeople know it and use it all the time. It’s where we create a bias based on the first small piece of information we get and rely a little too much on that “anchor” before we get to the rest of the boat. - We separate ourselves from everyone else and, in the process, increase our own self-esteem. Believe it or not, it’s likely that the more someone believes they’re incapable of being influenced, the more vulnerable they are to it!
