What does the research say about these two types of people? Are there certain personality characteristics discussed in the research about individual people or even within the group dynamics that foster people acting in such a fashion?

Remember how the discussion assignments work.

You need to respond to one discussion question with an essay of 400-600 words with at least two references.

This is due by 11:59 pm (Central Time) on Thursday.

By Sunday, you need to submit two responses of at least 75 words to people who, ideally, answered questions other than the one you answered.

include the question you are answering at the beginning of the posting.

If you notice that several people have answered a particular question, try to answer a different one.

The more different discussion topics we have, the better.

Here are the questions for Week Four:
1. What is the difference between Mindless versus Mindful Persuasion? Provide examples of each and talk about how this form or persuasion is achieved.

What are the lasting effects of each type of persuasion?

2. Cults are strong persuasive groups that indoctrinate people via various methods.

Watch the following 10-minute video that discusses how cults work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxJyfqeaKU8&feature=related).

Discuss the common elements of cults as detailed by the video.

In researching this topic, are there any other characteristics that are effective in cults, which were not discussed in the video?

3. Pick a form of propaganda (there are several examples in the chapter) and discuss the context of the time it was implemented.

What did the propaganda entail?

Was the propaganda effective or not?

Finally, discuss the elements of persuasion that were considered when developing and implementing the propaganda.

4. How do the concepts of group Polarization and groupthink play into the capital insurrection that occurred in early January 2021?

Are there other group influencing concepts that may play into people’s decision to storm the capital of the United States?

5. This is a very broad questions so try to keep your response contained, but how are we affected by the presence of others?

Incorporate various topics from the chapter and other research into your response.

6. Define the group behavioral terms of social-loafers and extra-milers.

How do these behavioral tendencies develop?

What does the research say about these two types of people?

Are there certain personality characteristics discussed in the research about individual people or even within the group dynamics that foster people acting in such a fashion?

 

Discuss at length what strategies you see present in the video and how effective those strategies are at persuading consumers to change their behavior?

1. Watch the following Frontline episode that explores the different methods marketers and advertisers employ to discover what we want and how to sell it to us in the consumer and political realms

After reading the chapter, discuss at length what strategies you see present in the video and how effective those strategies are at persuading consumers to change their behavior?

Knowing the Intricacies of persuasion, are there any strategies marketers and advertisers are currently using that may be less effective and should be changed?

Next time you are in the community, document the strategies you see present and discuss those.

If you still decided to grab that bag of chips with the reflective surface inside the packaging while checking out at the grocery store, was your choice mindless or mindful?

Why is speed-reading a better strategy for redundant or repetitive material compared to material that is difficult to understand? How about materials in a science course?

So much to read, so little time to read it all! Students often wish they could read more quickly, and, in fact, it’s easy to teach people how to speed-read. It’s important to understand, however, how speed-reading works, because this will help you see when speed-reading is a good idea—and when it’s a terrible strategy.

In normal reading, there’s no need to look at every word on the page. Printed material (like language in general) follows predictable patterns, and so, having read a few words, you’re often able to guess what the next words will be.

And without realizing you’re doing it, you routinely exploit this predictability: you ordinarily skip over many of the words on the page, relying on rapid inference to fill in what you’ve skipped.

The same process is central for speed-reading.

Courses that teach you how to speed-read actually rely on simple strategies that help you to skip more, as you move down the page, and, with this, to increase your use of inference.

As a result, speed-reading is not really “reading faster”; it is instead “reading less and inferring more.”

How does this process work?

First, before you speed-read some text, you need to lay the groundwork for the inference process—so that you’ll make the inferences efficiently and accurately.

Specifically, before you speed-read a text, you should flip through it quickly.

Look at the figures and the figure captions. If there’s a summary at the end or a preview at the beginning, read these.

These steps will give you a broad sense of what the material is about, preparing you to make rapid—and sensible—inferences about the material.

Second, you need to make sure you do rely on inference, rather than word-by-word scrutiny of the page.

To achieve this, read for a while holding an index card just under the line you’re reading, or perhaps using your finger to slide along the line of print to indicate what you are reading at that moment.

These procedures establish a physical marker that helps you keep track of where you are as you move from word to word.

This use of a pointer will become easy and automatic after a bit of practice, and once it does, you’re ready for the key step.

Rather than using the marker to follow your eye-position, use the marker to lead your eyes.

Specifically, try moving the index card or your finger a bit more quickly than you have so far, and try to move your eyes to “keep up” with this marker.

Of course, if you suddenly realize that you don’t have a clue what’s on the page, then you’re trying to go too fast.

Just move quickly enough so that you have to hustle along to keep up with your pointer.

Don’t move so quickly that you lose track of what you’re reading

This procedure will feel awkward at first, but it will become easier with some practice, and you’ll gradually learn to move the pointer faster and faster.

As a result, you’ll increase your reading speed by 30%, 40%, or more.

But let’s be clear about what’s going on here: You’re simply shifting the balance between how much input you’re taking in and how much you’re filling in the gaps with Sophisticated guesswork.

Often, though, this is a fine strategy.

Many of the things you read are highly predictable, and so your inferences about the skipped words are likely to be correct.

In this setting, you might as well use the faster process of making inferences, rather than the slower process of looking at individual words.

Of course, speed-reading is a bad bet if the material is hard to understand; in that case, you won’t be able to figure out the skipped words via inference, and so speed-reading will hurt you.

Speed-reading is also a poor choice if you’re trying to appreciate an author’s style.

If, for example, you speed-read Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, you probably will be able to make inferences about the plot, but you won’t be able to make inferences about the specific words you’re skipping over, and so you won’t be able to make inferences about the language that Shakespeare actually used.

And, of course, if you miss the language of Shakespeare and miss the poetry, you’ve missed the point.

Speed-reading will enable you to zoom through many assignments.

But do not speed-read material that is Technical, filled with details that you’ll need, or beautiful for its language.

In those cases, what you want is to pay attention to the words on the page and not rely on your own inferences.
