Post‐It® Note Persuasion: A Sticky Influence
通过四项实验发现，在调查问卷上贴一张便利贴请求能显著提高回收率、加快回收速度并提升回答质量，且个性化便利贴在问卷较长时效果更明显。
Four studies examine the influence of attaching a seemingly insignificant Post‐it ® note to a survey packet on the likelihood of completing the survey. Participants who received a packet with an affixed Post‐it note request had significantly higher return rates than participants who received the identical survey with (a) no sticky note, (b) the same message written on the cover sheet but without a Post‐it, or (c) a blank Post‐it with no message provided. Furthermore, they returned the materials more promptly with higher quality responses. A more personalized Post‐it appeal increased returns when the survey was long and time consuming but was no more effective than a nonpersonalized Post‐it when the survey was easy to complete. Results suggest that the Post‐it leads the request to be interpreted as a solicitation for a personal favor, facilitating a normative compliance response.
