Top 10 Lists: Public Ads That Hurt the Cause
Three studies examine the Presenter’s Paradox (Weaver, Garcia, and Schwarz 2012) in the context of healthy and social behavior. Our results show that Top 10 lists (e.g., “Top 10 Reasons to Quit Smoking”) can reduce rather than enhance people’s likelihood to adopt healthy lifestyles or make desired social decisions.
