THE SOCIAL PROOF DILEMMA

“It always works”

CHANGING YOUR OPINION1) Ask Yourself - What do you really believe?

2) Think About it – How well based is the opinion you already hold?

3) Analyze – How good is the evidence?

4) Be Critical – Does the evidence really contradict what you already believe?

5.)Figure out – If current evidence is insufficient – what would make it sufficient?

6.) Be Real – Is it worth it?
