Preference falsification

People lie.

They lie in focus groups, they lie on surveys and they lie to themselves.

Culture can be seen as an organized lying function. Be aware of what other people are thinking and make choices about your preferences so you can fit in.

Without this effect, we wouldn’t have trends, fads or hits.

Part of our work as marketers is to create the conditions for people to happily do what they were hoping they could do all along.
