“A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason. People simply like to have reasons for what they do.”
― Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, 1984

"Subjective validation, sometimes called personal validation effect, is a cognitive bias by which people will consider a statement or another piece of information to be correct if it has any personal meaning or significance to them. People whose opinion is affected by subjective validation will perceive two unrelated events (i.e., a coincidence) to be related because their personal beliefs demand that they be related."

“There is a natural human tendency to dislike a person who brings us unpleasant information, even when that person did not cause the bad news. The simple association with it is enough to stimulate our dislike.”
― Robert B. Cialdini, in his book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion", 1984

a few notes on a Linda Rising's talk

"Realize up front that this is hard".

Cognitive dissonance: contradictory "evidence" causes severe cognitive discomfort.

* We are not rational decision-makers
* but we are good at explaining after-the-fact why we made a decision – a pattern called rationalization.

Two thirds of people will not consider an idea until "somebody they know pretty well, is doing it, is happy with it, talks about it […] so maybe i might think about it".
To convince,
* you must address: "What's in it for me?" – requires empathy;
* you can use the values of your opponent. (Loyalty or fairness?)

A pattern of personal touch: walk a mile in the other's shoes
Another pattern: "Give it a try"
Another pattern: listen
Another pattern: ask for something personal

I never tried online #gaming but know lots of people who did. An interesting article about changes in the online social culture over time and the ability to make online friends.

Trump's violence-based immigrant fear-mongering "they're eating the cats" and "they are stone cold murderers" indicates he hasn't read Vecchione et al. 2011: "universalism values underlie perceptions that immigration has positive consequences and group security values underlie perceptions that it has negative consequences. Personal security makes no unique, additional contribution". Thus, I predict he'll lose the key #SocialPsych nerd demographic. https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.2044-8295.2011.02079.x

Does instructor-led #dialogue improve learning or #criticalThinking?

A new (and free) paper indicates that dialogue classes' essays scored higher in "critical reasoning", but didn't seem to do better on tests of argument evaluation or objection.

Neither #AI-concerned nor AI-skeptical groups substantially updated their views about AI risk.

…despite “8 weeks (…median: 31 hours) reading background materials, developing forecasts, and engaging in online discussion and video calls” (N = 22).

Another report from the #Forecasting Research Institute finding that sustained, collaborative education and reasoning barely impacted forecasts: https://forecastingresearch.org/news/ai-adversarial-collaboration

Isaac Davis presented "Inferring the Internal Structure of Social Collectives".

Isaac, Yarrow Dunham, and Julian Jara-Ettinger designed social vignettes to test their computational model of how people infer social structure (e.g., hierarchies) from a domain-general statistical learning mechanism and domain-specific social knowledge.

They think 2 experiments "support our account".

Are you important for the transfer of information across Mastodon?

Recent study finds you’re important if you represent a “structurally strategic node holding connections between across-instance regions of the network…[because you] positively impact…the effectiveness of information flow between the users over all Mastodon.”

Do you research organizational behavior (micro or macro)?

Then follow the @orgbehavior *group*!

How does a "group" work? Well it's a bot that will Boost any Toot that tags it, meaning that if you follow @orgbehavior you will see any Toot where it's tagged.

It's an easy way to keep up to date on the latest OB work, and share your research with the community!

So *please follow* 🙏

This only works if the community uses it!
