Preliminary Ideas on Experiment Design for Influencing Behavior

By Yiler Huang

In article The psychology of visuals, how images impact decision making, the researchers found out that images are very strong inputs and information that are being given using images are far more effective than information that are given in different mediums. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that if we want to influence people's behavior, we can think about using images to deliever the message that tells them to perform a certain action. For my experiment, making people straighten their backs without talking to them, I can comepare the amount of people who straightened their backs in a certain area in a certain time if there's a picture of someone straightening their back shown to the people or without the picture.
