Behavioral scientists Matthew Feinburg and Robb Willer conducted six experiments with a total of 1,322 participants, seeking to identify how to make the most effective political arguments to those people with opposing political beliefs. They found that “compliance rates” with a given political message increased if that message was reframed to leverage the existing beliefs of the listener.

Feinburg and Willer concluded that to win someone to your position, it’s best not to challenge their beliefs but to instead connect your own position to those beliefs (which, obviously, means empathizing with values you may not share–often the tricky part). Doing this can help others see the legitimacy of your position and reduce the perceptual gap between your viewpoint and theirs.
     What the research on reframing shows is that the key to winning any argument is to understand your opponents’ perspective first, and then to link the beliefs supporting their perspective to your argument. The point is to influence them by finding enough common ground to win them to your side–not running to opposite corners and shouting across the divide.


Let's try one seemingly intransigent argument.

Here's a seemingly smart guy ceo of a largish sector leading co.

His argument is that he accepts climate change not because it is man-made but because it always is happening historically.
His solution is to adapt to it.
What begs the question is should that adaptation involve trying to mitigate the rate of the climate change by say limiting the amount of carbon (fossil fuel) going into the atmosphere.
He would have to acknowledge this could be done, contributes to the problem and of course one of the adaptation tools in da bag.
He already said it wasn't human's fault besides the fact of overpopulation which I assume would be the single most favored mitigation strategies of choice.
