Hello Everyone,
What does the sentence" it might be reversible by another nudge" Easy come, easy go." taken from the postgraduate examination entrance examination in China.
Can it be understood this way? Since the conclusion (ethics class has an impact on eating meat) is obtained easily, it can be overturned easily probably the author thinks that any scientific argument should be established based on enormous testing and should be tested by time, however, the opinion is only built by a small laboratory test, it is not solid and convincing and very likely to be proved wrong?
...
But among student subjects who discussed meat ethics, meal purchases containing meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent—and this effect held steady for the study’s duration of several weeks. …
“That's actually a pretty large effect for a pretty small intervention,” Schwitzgebel says. Psychologist Nina Strohminger at the University of Pennsylvania, who was not involved in the study, says she wants the effect to be real but cannot rule out some unknown confounding variable. And if real, she notes, it might be reversible by another nudge: “Easy come, easy go.”
