Invisible Influence

Autor Jonah Berger
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2017

Observăm în Invisible Influence o abordare riguroasă a interdependenței dintre psihologia cognitivă, sociologie și marketingul comportamental. Jonah Berger descompune mecanismele invizibile care ne ghidează alegerile, demontând mitul autonomiei absolute în procesul decizional. Analiza sa nu se rezumă doar la conformism, ci explorează și fenomenul de divergență — motivele pentru care uneori abandonăm un brand sau un comportament tocmai pentru că acesta a devenit prea popular.

Apreciem structura narativă a cărții, care transformă datele de cercetare academică în studii de caz accesibile. De exemplu, modul în care etichetarea unei politici publice drept „republicană” sau „democrată” schimbă radical susținerea cetățenilor, indiferent de conținutul real al măsurii, oferă o perspectivă clară asupra puterii identității de grup. Această ediție în limba engleză subliniază relevanța curriculumului de științe sociale prin integrarea conceptelor de semnalizare socială și identitate.

Ca alternativă la The Psychology of Influence de Joop Pligt pentru cursurile de psihologie socială, lucrarea lui Berger are avantajul unei aplicabilități imediate în mediul de afaceri și social media, fiind mai puțin un manual teoretic și mai mult o hartă a influențelor practice. În contextul operei sale, Invisible Influence face tranziția de la mecanica viralității explorată în Contagious către psihologia internă a individului, pregătind terenul pentru strategiile de persuasiune din Catalyst. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit echilibrul dintre rigoarea științifică a unui profesor de la Wharton și stilul jurnalistic captivant, care permite cititorului să identifice aceste forțe ascunse în propria viață.

Descriere scurtă

Jonah Berger, the bestselling author of Contagious, explores the subtle, secret influences that affect the decisions we make--from what we buy, to the careers we choose, to what we eat--in his latest New York Times bestseller that is a "rare business book that's both informative and enough fun to take to the beach" (Fortune.com).
If you're like most people, you think your individual tastes and opinions drive your choices and behaviors. You wear a certain jacket because you liked how it looked. You picked a particular career because you found it interesting. The notion that our choices are driven by our own personal thoughts and opinions is patently obvious. Right? Wrong.
Without our realizing it, other people's behavior has a huge influence on everything we do at every moment of our lives, from the mundane to the momentous. Even strangers have an impact on our judgments and decisions: our attitudes toward a welfare policy shift if we're told it is supported by Democrats versus Republicans (even though the policy is the same). But social influence doesn't just lead us to do the same things as others. In some cases we imitate others around us. But in other cases we avoid particular choices or behaviors because other people are doing them. We stop listening to a band because they go mainstream. We skip buying the minivan because we don't want to look like a soccer mom.
By understanding how social influence works, we can decide when to resist and when to embrace it--and learn how we can use this knowledge to exercise more control over our own behavior. In Invisible Influence, Jonah Berger "is consistently entertaining, applying science to real life in surprising ways and explaining research through narrative. His book fascinates because it opens up the moving parts of a mysterious machine, allowing readers to watch them in action" (Publishers Weekly).

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
If you’re like most people, you think that your choices and behaviors are driven by your individual, personal tastes and opinions.
   You picked a jacket because you liked the way it looked. You picked a particular career because you found itinteresting. The notion that our choices are driven by our own personal thoughts and opinions seems so obvious that it is not even worth mentioning. Except that it’s wrong.
   Without our realizing it, other people’s behavior – what psychologists call “social influence” – has a huge influence on everything we do at every moment of our lives, from the mundane (which movie to see or place to have lunch) to the momentous (which career path to take or person to marry).
   We make riskier decisions because someone patted us on the shoulder. We like the name Mia because Madison and Sophia are popular names this year. Even strangers, or people we may never meet, have a startling impact on our judgments and decisions: our attitudes towards a welfare policy totally shift if we’re told it is supported by Democrats versus Republicans, even though the policy is the same in both cases.
   But social influence doesn’t just lead us to do the same things as others. Like a magnet it can attract, but it also can repel. In some cases we conform, or imitate others around us. But in other cases we diverge, or avoid particular choices or behaviors because other people are doing them. We stop listening to a band because they go mainstream. We skip buying the minivan because we don’t want to look like the soccer mom.
   By understanding how social influence works, we can decide when to resist and when to embrace it: we can affect others behavior and use others to help us make better-informed decisions.
