Priming Study | Tony Robbins

specifically there was a study where

they took a group of actors they had

them go out to 200 people and the only

thing different they walked up to each

person and the only difference was they

held a cup of coffee they walk up to

your strange and go to all this for a

second they look down so you can't say

yes or no and you'd end up taking it

they get their phone they adjust it they

take it back and say thank you that's

the whole thing same facial expression

for every person only difference half

got an iced coffee the other got hot

coffee

now 30 minutes go by they send out an

assistant a research assistant with a

clipboard and they come up to these same

individuals and say if you give us two

minutes your time we'll give you twenty

dollars will you just read these three

paragraphs and tell us what you think of

this character there's a couple

questions they read the three paragraphs

and they say what do you think of the

main character in this little story 81

that were given iced coffee say the

person is cold and uncaring eighty

percent a one percent variance of those

who are hot copy said the person is warm

and connected and caring with nothing

else but coffee 30 minutes earlier ice

cold most people think their thoughts

are their thoughts when really your

thoughts have been primed by the

environment
