Base Description
Social Proof We tend to follow the crowd and look at how others behave to determine how we should behave
Commitment We want others to perceive that we behave consistently, so we are inclined to keep commitments once we’ve made them
Similarity We are more apt to go along with people who are similar to us in some fashion
Reciprocation We are inclined to reciprocate when others do something for us, even if we have not asked for their favor
Authority We tend to respect authority & allow ourselves to be influenced by it
Logical Proof We tend to believe something that appears logical
Liking
Scarcity
We allow ourselves to be influenced more by people we know and like than by strangers
We are inclined to place more value on scarce things and to be influenced by scarcity
