Episode notes
Beach Thief Experiment
- A beach experiment showed people intervened with a thief 4x more often if they'd agreed to watch the victim's belongings.
- This demonstrates the consistency principle: we align actions with past commitments.
Charity Badge Experiment
- People wearing cancer-aware badges donated more to charity than those without.
- The badge acted as a consistency device, reinforcing their identity as supporters.
Small Commitments
- Get a small initial "yes" from your audience.
- This increases the likelihood of subsequent "yeses" due to the consistency principle.
