Psychological interventions tend to be confrontational in nature. That is, when psychologists seek to bring about change in beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, they often do so by directly confronting the presumed barrier to change. Confrontational approaches can be effective, but suffer from limitations to their efficacy, such as the possibility of arousing discomfort or defensiveness from the recipient. The current piece seeks to highlight an alternative strategy that we refer to as which refers to a general approach for bringing about behavior change without confrontation. Leveraging insights from research on misinformation, stereotypes, and persuasion, we present evidence that non-confrontational approaches can be as effective, if not more so, than the traditional confrontational paradigm.

绕过作为非对抗性影响策略


心理干预本质上往往是对抗性的。也就是说，当心理学家寻求改变信仰、态度或行为时，他们经常通过直接面对假定的改变障碍来实现这一目标。对抗性方法可能是有效的，但其功效受到限制，例如可能引起接受者的不适或防御。当前的文章旨在强调我们所说的另一种策略，它是指在不发生对抗的情况下实现行为改变的一般方法。利用对错误信息、刻板印象和说服的研究的见解，我们提供的证据表明，非对抗性方法可以与传统的对抗性范式一样有效，甚至更有效。
