- in a study published in the Wall Street Journal, researchers tested how powerful social proof was as a powerful driver of human behaviour. They used 4 different messages to try and convince people to use fans instead of air conditioning: Message 1: Informed the customer that they could be saving $54/month on their utility bill. Message 2: Told customers that they could prevent the release of 262 pounds of greenhouse gasses every month. Message 3: Encouraged customers that saving energy was a socially responsible thing to do. Message 4: Let customers know that 77 percent of their neighbors were already actively using fans to save energy. The study found that Message 4, the one that invoked the positive social proof, was the most effective. It was even more effective in getting people to take action than the messages about saving money or protecting the environment.
