Read the text below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Choose the most
appropriate choice for each question (76-90).

Government and public health organizations have been tasked with the challenge of changing
behavior — getting people to not only practice social distancing and shelter in place but do it for
weeks and potentially months. Not surprisingly, almost everyone is relying on the standard
approach to drive change: Tell people what to do. Issue demands like: “Don’t go out,” “Stay six
feet apart,” Wash your hands,” and “Wear face masks.” While a lot of us are following
recommendations so far, making sure everyone sticks with them for the long haul is a tougher
ask. Some people are still or have resumed congregating in groups. Some churches, with support
from their local leaders, are flouting stay-at-home orders. And protesters have begun to demand
that businesses reopen sooner than experts suggest.

Directives aren’t particularly effective in driving sustained behavior change because we all like
to feel as if we are in control of our choices. Why did I buy that product, use that service, or take
that action? Because I wanted to. So when others try to influence our decisions, we don’t just go
along, we push back against the persuasive attempt. We get together with a friend, shop more
than once a week, don’t wear a mask. We avoid doing what they suggested because we don’t
want to feel like someone else is controlling us.

Our innate anti-persuasion radar raises our defenses, so we avoid or ignore the message or, even
worse, counter-argue, conjuring up all the reasons why what someone else suggested is a bad
idea. Sure, the governor said to stay home but they’re overreacting. Maybe the virus is bad in
some part of the country, but I don’t know a single person whose gotten it. And besides, many
people who get it are fine anyway, so what’s the big deal? Like an overzealous high school
debater, they poke and prod and raise objections until the persuasive power of the message
crumbles.

So if telling people to do doesn’t work, what does? Rather than trying to persuade people, getting
them to persuade themselves is often more effective. Here are a few ways to do that.

You can increase people’s sense of freedom and control by pointing out a disconnect between
their thoughts and actions, or between what they might recommend for others versus do
themselves. Take staying at home. For young people who might resist, ask what they would
suggest an elderly grandparent or a younger brother or sister do. Would they want them out,
interacting with possibly infected people? If not, why do they think it’s safe for them to do so?
People strive for internal consistency. They want their attitudes and actions to line up.
Highlighting misalignment encourages them to resolve the disconnect.
Health officials in Thailand used this approach in anti-smoking campaign. Rather than telling
smokers their habit was bad, they had little kids come up to smokers on the street and ask them
for a light. Not surprisingly, the smokers told the kids no. Many even lectured the little boys and
girls about the dangers of smoking. But before turning to walk away, the kids handed the smokers
a note that said, “You worry about me … But why not about yourself?” At the bottom was a toll-
free number smoker could call to get help. Calls to that line jumped more than 60% during the
campaign.

Another way to allow for agency is to ask questions rather than make statements. Public health
messaging tries to be direct: “Junk food makes you fat.” “Drunk driving is murder.” “Keep
sheltering in place.” But being so forceful can make people feel threatened. The same content
can be phrased in terms of a question: “Do you think junk food is good for you?” If someone’s
answer is no, they’re now in a tough spot. By encouraging them to articulate their opinion,
they’ve had to put a stake in the ground — to admit that those things aren’t good for them. And
once they’ve done that, it becomes harder to justify the bad behaviors.

Questions shift the listener’s role. Rather than counter-arguing or thinking about all the reasons
they disagree, they’re sorting through their answer to your query and their feelings or opinions
on the matter. And this shift increases buy-in. It encourages people to commit to the conclusion,
because while people might not want to follow someone else’s lead, they’re more than happy to
follow their own. The answer to the question isn’t just any answer; it’s their answer, reflecting
their own personal thoughts, beliefs, and preferences. That makes it more likely to drive action.

In the case of this crisis, questions like “How bad would it be if your loved ones got sick?” could
prove more effective than directives in driving commitment to long-term or intermittent social
distancing and vigilant hygiene practices.

The third approach is to reduce the size of the ask. A doctor was dealing with an obese trucker
who was drinking three liters of Mountain Dew a day. She wanted to ask him to quit cold turkey,
but knew that would probably fail, so she tried something else. She asked him to go from three
liters a day to two. He grumbled, but after a few weeks, was able to make the switch. Then, on
the next visit, she asked him to cut down to one liter a day. Finally, after he was able to do that,
only then did she suggest cutting the soda out entirely. The trucker still drinks a can of Mountain
Dew once in a while, but he’s lost more than 25 pounds.

Especially in times of crisis, health organizations want big change right away. Everyone should
continue to stay at home, by themselves, for two more months. But asks this big often get
rejected. They’re so different from what people are doing currently that they fall into what
scientists call “the region of rejection” and get ignored.
