  1. Elaboration Likelihood Model, Made Practical
    The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) holds that persuasion travels one of two routes: the central route, where people carefully evaluate arguments and change their minds durably, and the peripheral route, where people use mental shortcuts (source attractiveness, social proof) and shift only temporarily. Which route dominates depends on motivation and cognitive capacity in the moment. The model is one of the most replicated frameworks in social psychology.
  2. Maintain a personal model catalog with examples
    Keep a written inventory of your models, each illustrated with a real example from your own experience.
