#CognitveBias #Reactance

Wir würden lieber das Gegenteil von dem tun, wozu jemand uns zwingen will. Wenn wir das Gefühl haben, dass unsere Freiheit eingeschränkt wird, neigen wir dazu, uns zu wehren, aber dabei können wir überkompensieren. Achte darauf, nicht die Objektivität zu verlieren!

5️⃣ Timing counts: resistance peaks pre-implementation, fades once gains show. Think smoking bans, seatbelts, lockdowns. ⏳➡️✅ #ChangeManagement #Reactance 📉

2️⃣ The bigger the threat to freedom, the bigger the pushback. Vaccine mandates, fuel taxes, even toddler outfits spark 🚫➡️😡 #Reactance #FreedomMatters 🛑🍼

1️⃣ Ever wonder why “DON’T do it” makes you want it more? 👉 That’s Psychological Reactance—our 🔥 drive to guard freedom. #Reactance #Autonomy #Psychology 🤔

Study shows psychological reasons why people reject new rules Many people soon stop resisting policy changes that restrict their personal freedom once the new rules come into force.

A study shows that people react more strongly to new restrictions, such as smoking bans, before they're introduced than afterward, when they better recognize the #societalbenefits: go.tum.de/848001

Here are the 10 manipulation tactics we covered from the paper — each with examples, real-world uses, and how to resist:
#AnchoringBias
#Framing
#CognitiveEase
#InformationOverload
#AvailabilityBias
#ConfirmationBias
#Reactance
#SocialProof
#OverconfidenceBias
#ReciprocityBias

The strongest move?

Give people tools, not commands.

Respect autonomy. Equip minds.

The best defense is chosen — not imposed.

Linda and an example of a shortlist quota: The Rooney Rule

Effect of shortlist quota on the number of women finalists.

Effects of shortlist quotas on hiring a woman — a transparent quota was even more effective than a hidden quota!

Summary of results with an interesting caveat: "Perceived social norms and inferred organizational values mediated [both the finalist and the hiring outcomes]"

@iamlindachang.bsky.social reported experiments on shortlist quotas in #hiring.

In an incentive compatible game, the quotas yielded more women finalists and hires.

And #reactance didn’t seem to moderate those results?

Most people using #Resistance should more accurately be using #Impedance, but the imaginary #Reactance part doesn't sound cool like ohms.
