RE: Illusion of Control - The Positives of Self-Deception
Great article. Another good example are crossing at traffic lights that have buttons that do nothing. The result is it causes people to wait longer because they feel in control. All of this is closely related to the placebo effect.
Keep up the great writing
haha! that's exactly what happens in New York City. the traffic light buttons have been disabled since circa the 1980s. I ashamefully didnt know that during my last trips to NYC. I thought they actually worked. they probably have auto-detection camera that trigger light changes.
thanks for the feedback! will be posting some steemit statistics in the upcoming days. I have to get into the code. And Im also looking forward to your stats!
