crosspatch म्हणाले...: Stanford University recently had a webinar that also describes framing in decision making. For example. If you tell one group "the tallest redwood tree is 1500 feet tall" and tell another group that "the tallest redwood tree is 280 feet tall" then ask "what is the height of the average redwood tree", the answers will vary according to which group they are in. The group "anchored" with the higher number will give a higher average and the opposite for the other group.

The webinar is on YouTube here and is probably worth watching if that sort of thing interests you:

No thank you.

Would you care for an even more refreshing ice cold beverage enhanced with exotic and dangerous ingredients mixed specifically to break through your defenses and erode your resistance?
