Deep dives
The power of noun labels in shaping behavior
Using noun labels to describe oneself or others can have a significant impact on behavior and perception. Research has shown that using noun labels, such as 'voter' instead of 'vote,' can increase voter registration and turnout. Similarly, referring to children as 'helpers' rather than using the verb 'helping' makes them more likely to clean up. This effect extends to reducing cheating, with people being less likely to cheat when referred to as 'non-cheaters' rather than being instructed not to cheat. The use of noun labels can be a powerful tool in encouraging desired behaviors and shaping self-perception.
