Invisible Influence

We stop listening to a band because they go mainstream, Mọi vẫn đề rồi sẽ được giải quyết.. We skip buying the minivan because we don't want to look like the soccer mom. Không được làm như vậy..

But social influence doesn't just lead us to do the same things as others. Ổn chứ nhỉ.

Even strangers, or people we may never meet, have a startling impact on our judgments and decisions: our attitudes towards a welfare policy totally shift if we're told it is supported by Democrats versus Republicans, even though the policy is the same in both cases. Quá tuyệt vời !.

By understanding how social influence works, we can decide when to resist and when to embrace it: we can affect others behavior and use others to help us make better-informed decisions. Thật lố bịch.

The notion that our choices are driven by our own personal thoughts and opinions seems so obvious that it is not even worth mentioning. Có thế chứ, rất tuyệt..

We like the name Mia because Madison and Sophia are popular names this year. Vậy thì tốt quá rồi!.

But in other cases we diverge, or avoid particular choices or behaviors because other people are doing them. Cái gì cũng có cái giá của nó!.

Except that it's wrong, Rốt cuộc cậu thích người phụ nữ như thế nào. Without our realizing it, other people's behavior - what psychologists call "social influence" - has a huge influence on everything we do at every moment of our lives, from the mundane (which movie to see or place to have lunch) to the momentous (which career path to take or person to marry). Điều này thật vô nghĩa..

You picked a jacket because you liked the way it looked. Quá tuyệt vời !.

Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành, Cũng chẳng sung sướng hơn là bao.. Tuy nhiên tuỳ vào từng loại sản phẩm hoặc phương thức, địa chỉ giao hàng mà có thể phát sinh thêm chi phí khác như phí vận chuyển, phụ phí hàng cồng kềnh, ... Cũng chẳng sung sướng hơn là bao..

You picked a particular career because you found itinteresting. Trời trở lạnh rồi.

If you're like most people, you think that your choices and behaviors are driven by your individual, personal tastes and opinions. Ôi chao, hôm nay tôi thấy thật thoải mái làm sao!.

We make riskier decisions because someone patted us on the shoulder. Tệ lắm phải không?.

Like a magnet it can attract, but it also can repel, Trời ơi! Thật thế ư?. In some cases we conform, or imitate others around us. Mọi người vỗ tay tán thưởng.
