Psychological interventions tend to be confrontational in nature. That is, when psychologists seek to bring about change in beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, they often do so by directly confronting the presumed barrier to change. Confrontational approaches can be effective, but suffer from limitations to their efficacy, such as the possibility of arousing discomfort or defensiveness from the recipient. The current piece seeks to highlight an alternative strategy that we refer to as bypassing, which refers to a general approach for bringing about behavior change without confrontation. Leveraging insights from research on misinformation, stereotypes, and persuasion, we present evidence that non-confrontational approaches can be as effective, if not more so, than the traditional confrontational paradigm.
心理干预往往具有对抗性。也就是说，当心理学家试图改变信念、态度或行为时，他们通常会直接面对改变的障碍。对抗性方法可能是有效的，但它们的效果受到限制，例如可能会引起接受者的不适或防御。本文旨在强调我们称之为“绕过”的替代策略，这是一种在不进行对抗的情况下实现行为改变的一般方法。利用错误信息、刻板印象和说服研究的见解，我们提供的证据表明，非对抗性方法可以与传统的对抗性范式一样有效，如果不是更有效的话。
