Welcome to the libertarian Institute and Keith Knight.
Don't tread on anyone. This is a summary of the
research done by Robert G. Eldini A & A section of his book
titled, social proof, the principle of social proof
states. That one important means that
people use to decide what to believe, or how to act in a
situation is to look at what other people are believing or
doing their powerful. Imitative effects have been
found among both children and adults and in such diverse
activities. As purchase decisions, Charity
donations and phobia remission. The principle of social proof
can be used to stimulate a person's compliance with a
request by informing the person that many other individuals, the
more the better are or have been complying with it.
Social proof is most influential under two conditions.
The first is uncertainty when people are unsure, when the
situation is ambiguous. They are more likely to attend
to the action. Of others and to accept those
actions as correct in ambiguous situations, for instance, the
decisions of by standards to help are much more influenced by
the actions of other bystanders. Then when the situation is a
clear-cut emergency, the second condition under which social
proof is most, influential is similarity.
People are more inclined to follow the lead of similar
others evidence for the powerful effect.
Act of the actions of similar others on human behavior.
Can be readily seen in a suicide statistics compiled by
sociologist. David Phillips.
Those statistics indicate that after highly publicized suicide
stories. Other troubled individuals who
are similar to the suicide story, victim decide to kill
themselves in analysis of the mass suicide incident at
Jonestown Guyana. Suggest that the group's leader,
Reverend Jim. Elms used both of the factors of
uncertainty and similarity to induce a herd like suicide
response from the majority of the Jonestown population
recommendations to reduce our susceptibility.
To faulty, social proof include a sensitivity to clearly,
counterfeit evidence of what similar others are doing and a
recognition that the actions of similar others should not form
the sole basis for Our decisions.
One of the purposes of bumper stickers is simply to engage in
Social proof when someone puts on a burning sticker or a trump
sticker. It's not a argument convincing.
People of why they should vote for this or that Canada.
It just says Trump on it or just as Bernie 2020, something like
that. This is definitely something we
should be using to our advantage.
You can go to places like libertarian country and get
really cheap bumper stickers. I got this.
On tours to one for myself, use code Liberty 20, they're not a
sponsor but their place. I like shopping at.
Also, the libertarian Institute offers a variety color of shirts
with our logo on it. You can also check out places
like the Misa store. The more people see that,
there's just more of us and it goes were buying their attention
again and again and again it sits in the back of their mind
and says, well a lot of people are believing this thing and
they're confident enough to To spend money and put it on their
car or two. I'll wear it as a t-shirt.
That alone is how you can play a small role in.
Increasing the likelihood. That people will see
libertarianism as one a legitimate ideology, worthy of
addressing and to maybe considering it for themselves.
This is how I was originally. Researching the idea.
I just saw so many people with Ron Paul stickers, Googled Ron,
Paul bought his book, The Lucian out of pure curiosity, just
because I had seen other people talking about it and it looked
like there were a lot of dedicated people behind this
guy. So that is social proof and some
ideas as to how we can use it to our advantage.
Thank you for watching the libertarian Institute and Keith
Knight. Don't tread on anyone.
