Utjecaj: Znanost i praksa
A translation of Cialdini's cult book, in which he uses an attractive style, yet supported by interviews, quotes, and systematic personal observations, to bring the principles on which social influence is based closer to a wider, but also more professiona
The book explores the mechanisms and techniques that people use to influence the decisions and behavior of others. Cialdini identifies six key principles of influence:
Reciprocity: People feel obligated to return a favor or gift. This principle is often used by marketers who offer free samples to encourage customers to make a purchase.
Commitment and consistency: Once a person has committed to something, they tend to act in accordance with that commitment in order to remain consistent with their previous decisions.
Social proof: People often look to the behavior of others to determine the correct behavior in a given situation. For example, a restaurant full of people is perceived as better than an empty one.
Authority: People are more likely to follow the advice or instructions of people they perceive as authorities or experts.
Liking: We are more easily persuaded by people we like or feel a connection with.
Rarity: People place greater value on things that are rare or of limited availability. This principle is used in limited-offer marketing campaigns.
Cialdini spent three years researching persuasion techniques, working undercover in various sales and marketing environments to understand firsthand how these principles apply in practice. His findings provide valuable insights into the psychology of persuasion and how these principles can be used ethically or manipulatively.
