New at @PNASNews with @dbroockman, @chriscaballero_ & @easton_matty: "Political practitioners poorly predict which messages persuade the public." As we head into the last week of the campaign, a good reminder that political practitioners have poor intuitions as to what persuades

Interventions that enable individuals to circumvent obstacles, offer social support, provide incentives, and highlight healthy social norms are very effective at changing behavior. Changing emotions, attitudes, and beliefs, doesn't help much. nature.com/articles/s44159-0…

Overall, it seems predictions made by repeated exposure theories may not hold so well when using different (but non-identical) messages about a single topic. We also reflect on implications for message fatigue & reactance theorizing. Here's hoping for more repetition research!
