    Frequently Asked Questions

    Laut Miles ist Manipulation im Grunde erst einmal eine Form der gezielten Einflussnahme auf andere Personen. In der Psychologie versteht man darunter die heimliche Veränderung von Denken, Fühlen und Verhalten, die oft unbemerkt im Hintergrund abläuft. Lena stellt fest, dass wir oft glauben, völlig frei zu entscheiden, während der Rahmen für diese Entscheidungen eigentlich schon längst von jemand anderem gesetzt wurde, sei es im Supermarkt, in Beziehungen oder im Kino.

    Der Decoy-Effekt ist ein klassisches Beispiel der Entscheidungspsychologie, bei dem unser Gehirn durch eine gezielte Preisgestaltung ausgetrickst wird. Lena beschreibt dies am Beispiel von Popcorn-Preisen: Durch ein mittleres Angebot, das preislich nah am großen liegt, wirkt das teuerste Produkt plötzlich wie ein Schnäppchen. Miles erklärt, dass man hierbei voll in eine psychologische Falle tappt, die uns dazu bringt, mehr Geld auszugeben, als wir ursprünglich geplant hatten.

    Wie Miles im Gespräch mit Lena erläutert, ist die psychologische Einflussnahme praktisch überall präsent. Sie begegnet uns nicht nur beim Einkaufen durch Nudging oder den Decoy-Effekt, sondern in fast jedem Gespräch und jeder sozialen Interaktion. Die Verhaltenspsychologie zeigt auf, dass unser Handeln oft durch die Art und Weise beeinflusst wird, wie uns Optionen präsentiert werden, was Lena als durchaus gruselig empfindet, da die Manipulation oft völlig unsichtbar bleibt.
